<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Thank you Roberto. We had the last extensive discussion about emojis on this mailing list exactly one year ago. I consider emojis as a very small part of the Universal Acceptance complex – if at
all. The UASG is currently working on an update of its strategic plan and strategic objectives. Emojis are not included. Neither in the plan, nor in the objectives. I´d highly appreciate if the UASG leadership would keep this in mind when starting new discussion
threads. The UASG will keep struggeling to achieve its goals if we repeatedly allocate time and resources on niche phenomena that are not even in scope.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</o:p></span></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE">I wonder whether we should apply a simple consideration: while universally accepting different scripts is something that is needed by parts of the internet user population to effectively and fully benefit of the Internet,
this is not really the case for supporting emoji.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE">In simple words, while this can be a fascinating technical problem, its solution does not address a primary need of the average internet user but just some vanity need (at best) of some internet users. I am not saying that
we should not study it, but I would argue that it has a far lower priority.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="DE">Emoji have no place is security relevant contexts because their rendering is far from standardized and unless magnified, they can be hard to recognize. Also, users
have no good idea whether related shapes might exist or not, so any deviation would be attributed to non-standard rendering and most likely accepted.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="DE">Finally, many emoji involve sequences that may be displayed by some fall-back means on devices that do not happen to support them. This makes emoji similar to complex
scripts, but that danger is underappreciated by many people because emoji have an emotional appeal and appear accessible because the are cute.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
