Oops, missed that part, thanks. So UTR51 does acknowledge the existence of non-emoji emoticons and short names inside a pair of colons, but (implicitly) puts their standardization outside the scope of Unicode. There is probably more diversity among them than there was among single-codepoint emojis used by Japanese telcos. Still, a file like <http://unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/ucd/EmojiSources.txt> *could* be produced for character sequences that map to emojis.

Btw., the Input section didn’t change in the current draft. <http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr51/tr51-8.html#Input>
