Ouch, apple emoji search. Ouch.
Relatedly, the apple notification summary I’m getting for people reacting to this is *fantastic*.

Yes they are! I had those things in the 90s, wich was like just 10 years ago. 😝

@kemayo
So, so seen ...
Missing an analog clock (i.e.: a "clock").

@xris @kemayo
All these and more “ewaste emoji” 💾💿💽📟📠📇 (mini-disc, pager, fax, Rolodex “card index”!) are included in the proposal for a Phonograph Record Player #emoji

It might symbolize antiques, vinyl records, media archives, “OK Boomer“ 🥸 and deprecated technology of all kinds

We should find out whether #Unicode will approve it in November

Miss my Rolodex. My "Contacts" are not tactile.
@kemayo ok, but we still use keys, don't we?
@andrewt Pretty rarely ones that look like that, mind you.
@kemayo you know, I had properly assumed there was only one "key" emoji, but no, apparently we have 🔑 and 🗝️ because I guess the unicode consortium thought it important not only that we could draw keys in flowing text but also that we could roughly indicate the age of that key for some reason 🤷
@kemayo @SRDas My wife is very upset that there are only nine buttons on the phone.
@kemayo Why do I get a police car in there?
@kemayo @girlonthenet Be careful with the 'pager' emoji. It doesn't spread a bombastic mood everywhere.
