The #UnicodeConsortium needs to consider this
JaeThank you, #UnicodeConsortium for at least throwing us the bone of a π©· emoji after refusing to give us our

David Cantrell πThere should be a :person: :combining character fur suit: sequence to make a #yeti emoji, and a :person: :combining character size 14 shoes: :combining character fur suit: sequence to make a #bigfoot. Sort it out #UnicodeConsortium!
Macleod SawyerThe Unicode Consortium has a new Silver Sponsor! Blue Blocker, the open source tool to block and hide all Xitter Blue users, has now sponsored and adopted the "π" character.

π@doubtshrine Wonder what the #UnicodeConsortium will think of #ElonMusk use of one of their standard characters?
Turning one into a brand doesn't appear to be within their allowed permissions of use.
Can always count on #muskrat to screw things up eh

naiaI understand that there is a lot of "complexity" around Unicode. And some of it is explained and discussed visibly on the internet. For example, I have seen discussions about encodings, the basic concepts (code point, planes, general category), composition (diacritics and others) and bidirectional text.
But I am quite lost trying to find out ressources about the precise description of certain code points (i.e., what are they supposed to represent). It certainly cannot be the case that the name alone clarifies the meaning (I'm looking at you, π-night with stars and β»-CJK Radical City).
I of course know that pinning down the meaning of anything is ... well ... an impossible task (meanings evolve, there is ambiguity, etc.). But it feels important to me to have some record of the what "things" the code point represents or is directly related to.
For example: code point U+270A corresponds to β (Raised Fist). I can think of many reasons why we have this as a code point, but not "Raised left leg", "Raising both left while folding the knee 36 degrees". And something tells me that this should be said somewhere. (Clearly, exhaustive listings are also incredibly hard to make, but what about aiming for a incomplete list? I think that would be quite welcome.)
This information, where is it? Suggestions are appreciated!
