Spydie emoji

[Woodpuppy]

Just wondering... what would it take to add a :spyder: emoji to the iOS emoji keyboard?

I'm only a basic user on Apple products. In Microsoft you import sets of widgets (not correct name) and you can add an image to one....now this is how it works in word processing, but I'm not sure how they change the global default character set.

That is what you are looking at.

I googled, "modify apple ios emoji keyboard" and there are hundreds of examples.

It would have to be culturally/globally significant enough to get the Unicode Consortium to add it to the spec, and then each of the big tech platforms (Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, etc) will add support for it in the next planned software release.

For the truly nerdy among us, here is a podcast that talks about getting approval for emoji.

I guess you lost me at “culturally/globally significant”. That’s sending my thoughts towards distinctly unshiny footprints...
