We are being pretty conservative about what we add. There are approximately
1,200 emoji characters now (see tr51), and we're anticipating adding
perhaps 50 per release. And we are encouraging a "sticker" approach for the
longer term.

On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if the 41 emoji characters that
we are planning on for Unicode 8.0 end up having a higher frequency of use
than the other 7K characters in the release.
