| 10 | +Introduction |
| 11 | +------------ |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +I hereby request the addition of a [\_\_\_\_\_\_] emoji to the Unicode Standard. |
| 14 | +Rationals, glyph examples, character properties as well as discussion of |
| 15 | +inclusion and exclusion factors are included on the following pages. As per |
| 16 | +emoji submission guidelines |
| 17 | +(http://www.unicode.org/emoji/selection.html\#submission) this document does not |
| 18 | +include the character proposal form. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +Pirate, Pirate Flag, Wooden Leg / Prosthetic, Eyepatch, Bandana / … |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +Fairy / Witch / Sorcerer, Magic Wand |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +Zombie / Undead |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +Vampire |
| 27 | + |

| 34 | +Glyph and Design |
| 35 | +---------------- |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +Description |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Character Properties |
| 42 | +-------------------- |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +The preferred name of the character is “[\_\_\_\_\_\_]”. It should be added to |
| 45 | +the [\_\_\_\_\_\_] block near other [\_\_\_\_\_\_] emoji. Properties of the |
| 46 | +[\_\_\_\_\_\_] emoji should be identical to those of other emoji. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +- General Category: Other Symbol (So) |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +- Canonical Combining Class: 0 |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +- Bidirectional Class: Other Neutral (ON) |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +- Bidi Mirrored: No |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +No case-mapping is required. The character does not decompose in any way. It is |
| 57 | +not whitespace nor a control character. It has no numeric value. It does [NOT\|] |
| 58 | +make use of emoji modifiers. It has [TEXT\|EMOJI] presentation by default. In |
| 59 | +collation order it should be sorted near other [\_\_\_\_\_\_] emoji. It should |
| 60 | +definitely be part of the [\_\_\_\_\_\_] category. |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +Factors for Inclusion |
| 63 | +--------------------- |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +### A. Compatibility: |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +There are no known legacy character sets containing [\_\_\_\_\_\_]. |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +### B. Expected Usage Level: |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +I have included several charts supplied by Google Trends showing the frequency |
| 72 | +of searches for “[\_\_\_\_\_\_]” in comparison to other emoji. |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +Google search for the term “[\_\_\_\_\_\_]” returns [\_\_\_\_\_\_] results, |
| 75 | +which is more than for [\_\_\_\_\_\_]. |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +### C. Image distinctiveness: |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +... |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +### D. Completeness: |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +... |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +### E. Frequently Requested: |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +... |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +Factors for Exclusion |
| 90 | +--------------------- |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +### F. Overly Specific: |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +... |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +### G. Open-ended: |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +... |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +### H. Already Representable: |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +... |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +### I. Logos, Brands etc. |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +... |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +### J. Transient: |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +... |
