Emoji edit

The article has a section entitled "Emoji" stating that the charcters U+00A9 (copyright symbol) and U+00AE (registered trademark symbol) are emojis. I don't think this is correct. IIRC, there is no mention of emoji code points prior to Unicode 5 or 6, and even then they do not apply to the Latin-1 Supplement block characters. — Loadmaster (talk) 17:44, 5 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Unicode classifies them as emoji in emoji-data.txt. [1] DRMcCreedy (talk) 18:17, 5 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
Huh. Their emoji-data.txt file also defines hash (#), asterisk (*), and all of the decimal digits (0–9) as emojis. Strange. — Loadmaster (talk) 16:22, 12 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
Hash, asterisk and 0-9 are not true emoji, but "incomplete singletons" in the terminology of UTR #51. They are only emoji as part of a sequence representing keycap emoji, i.e. when followed by VS16 and U+20E3 Combining Enclosing Keycap (see emoji-sequences.txt). As to copyright and trademark, they are emoji, but their default presentation is text, and they should normally only be presented as emoji if modified by a following VS16 (U+FE0F Variation Selector-16).
