summary
Apple adds the first emoji set for iPhone 3GS in 2009 for Japan and Unicode standardizes emoji in 2010, making them part of the character set. A small JavaScript emoji decomposer is built to show that JS string length counts code units not graphemes, revealing Fitzpatrick modifier tokens for skin tones and the zero-width joiner that composes sequences like male dancer from base glyphs plus male sign. Taco Bell wins a taco emoji via petition and Unicode applies noncommercial and cultural criteria, sparking debate over a menstrual emoji and its final, toned-down design.
