I don't use emoji, but I suspect that there are none to represent bipolar disorder (please prove me wrong), and we deserve at least one. Once we all agree on an appropriate design I'll petition Apple and all residuals will go to DocJohn. A slow pitch would be one of those cliché half crying/half laughing tragicomic masks, but I propose a waveform mapped on a Cartesian coordinate plane superimposed on a cute cartoon bunny in a straitjacket.

Call me the party pooper - but would your idea of petitioning work?

Why don't you just contact the emoji+ website direct and ask them?

As you're going to petition Apple, I'd suggest slightly changing this:
The Bipolar emoji

Nice post, Lefty. I like the Cartesian coordinate idea.

I think emojis are part of the ASCII standards, but I could be wrong. Apple went rogue against the standard when they changed the gun for a water pistol. There they go effing up a standard again.

This one's perfect (only works on an iPhone or Mac): link.

Apple (now) adheres to the standard (which isn't ASCII, but Unicode; the former has 256 "characters" and the latter about 100,000 with more added with new versions of the standard; each company is free to use some "code points", character positions, "privately", like the one in this post).

Edit:
The forum doesn't support all of Unicode (somewhat ironically, given your remarks about Apple). The link should work.

Another edit:
This forum doesn't support Web/Internet standards either, so the link doesn't work either. Just copy-paste this in the address bar: data:text/html,📄

The text reads: "Here's to the crazy ones...". Click "die" in my signature for the rest of it.

Everyone effectively called my bluff; I have no idea how new emoji enter this world... I and my wife are emojiless by choice. We do have a blind miniature dachshund who can navigate via toenail echolocation, grab food off tables and find treats on a floor using advanced search algorithms, like a Roomba.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
