gollark: Unicode has barely begun providing code points for all of the various emojis currently in use, and it is likely that more emojis will be created in the future. For example, there are still missing emoji symbols for most types of food and drink, the flags of each town and city on Earth, all human sporting and leisure activities including all local and national sports teams and players, and every plant and animal species and gender.
gollark: I mean, specific emoji fonts, sure.
gollark: There's the avian carrier QoS RFC already, so I suppose there's precedent for extensions.
