@SignifyingMonky@unicode yes
...heard from an inside source that it got very close to being chosen last fall, but they didn't end up going for it. Hopefully it's still being considered, and hasn't been fully denied yet!
@unicode there needs to be a squint emoji, but luckily for the unicode consortium I've already thought of it and designed it. it's just the monocle emoji but better. thanks, it's sorely needed and it'll break records for most used emoji very soon
