It'll be added when they'd find some free time!

You see, adding pictures women with white cane facing right, limes and pregnant men is a very important and time consuming job! Standardizing encoding for some human language people use is just not as important!

These are emojis, not unicode right?

Emoji are defined as part of Unicode, so they can be encoded alongside other text:

Emoji are part of unicode. And people demand more of them, so it's no surprise they put effort into those, even if OP thinks they are not important.Few people appreciate the unicode consortium for their originally intended work.
