is there a unicode proposal yet for "request left-facing variant" and "request right-facing variant", like how we have the image/text variant selectors for ☃️ and ☃︎?

because i want all my animal emoji to face in the forwards text direction like in sitelen pona!!

@nycki They already have a mechanism for that, but they don’t accept proposals for putting more directional variants on the recommended list: https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr51/#Direction

@CharlotteBuff this is exactly what I was hoping for! its fine if not all emoji are supported yet, if there's a spec for it then i can bug font maintainers instead. 🐄‍➡️ (someday...)
