The goal of this page is to outline the process and requirements for submitting a proposal for new emoji; including how to submit a proposal, the selection factors that need to be addressed in each proposal, and guidelines on presenting evidence of frequency. Follow these guidelines and supporting documents for your emoji proposal to have the best chance of being accepted.

Anyone can submit an emoji proposal, but only a small fraction are accepted for encoding. The Submission needs to be complete and meet the criteria for it to be reviewed. Submissions proposing flags or to emojify existing Unicode characters will not be accepted. If your concept does not require color, consider proposing it as a Unicode character here.
