Quentin RuyantSo, I was bored and I made that. It's a tree of life with emojis. It took much more time than I expected... Feel free to share!
New version! (Yes, the dodo is extinct)

Some emojis might not appear depending on your system.
Raptor's Nest (He/Him)@qruyant Wow - this is amazing. Thanks for sharing the svg file! I have a couple of lectures coming up on the tree of life so I will definitely use this one.
Iris Young (he/they/she) (PhD)@qruyant oh that's neat.
The pickle is a hidden gem.
Dr Keith Wilson 💭@qruyant Just wonderful! 🤩
Polaris Fnordstern*@qruyant
This is amazing! 🤩 Thank you for creating this phylogeny
If there is another update of this may I suggest sponges to be added?

the sponges (porifera) would probably get their own branch upstream of the fungi 🍄but before the Cnidaria (Jellyfish and Coral) branch off

@polaris I'll think about it... I hesitated to put this one as well 🎃 but decided not to because it's crafted, and then where do I stop? 🍞🍺☕🚬
@qruyant
My argument in favour:
The object 🧽 represents may be crafted, but the underlying organism doesn't have another emoji representation (different to grains 🌾 or Tobacco 🍂)
Sponges are also distinct in their biology from other animals and form their own phylum (Porifera):
- multicelled immobile animals
- no nerves but an endoskeleton made of silica needles
- their cells remold their bodies if they are disintegrated (if the right cells are present)

bewitchedmind@qruyant So there is no platypus emoji? Shame.
