Poo has feelings too. Or does it?

There’s been a debate taking place at the Unicode Consortium, the organisation that curates and distributes the standard list of emojis ? so they display correctly ? on different devices ?, and it’s about a pile of poo ?.

Apple had added a smiling face to their poo emoji which gave Unicode an idea, why not create a sad poo too ?? An argument then ensued.

“This should embarrass absolutely everyone who votes yes on such an excrescence ?”, wrote typographer Michael Everson.

Another typographer, Andrew West, commented, “Is there really any need to add a range of emotions to PILE OF POO ??”

Well, when you put it like that… we think you have a point!???
