looking at the changes it makes me wonder: - is there an usable font the cover all unicode ? - if not is there really a point to include everything possible in unicode ? - how many space is remaining for new alphabet and smileys ? - how do they handle changes in scripts, for example if new proto-cuneiform or seal script symbols are discovered ?

Personally the whole emoji thing is an unmitigated disaster. I'm okay with smileys and gestures but everything else is pointless
