As it happens I have recently been designing some emoji grammatical operator characters. They are abstract emoji.

The concept is that the emoji grammatical operator operates on the emoji character that follows it, so as to provide a grammatical context for the emoji character. 

Each of the characters is designed to be on a 7 by 7 grid, and is one contiguous piece with no inner hole. 

Lines are always one unit wide and only corners and T junctions are allowed. 

I have now added images of glyph designs for fifteen emoji grammatical operator characters to the web.

They are included on the following web page.

That page is linked from the following web page.

I have attached copies of two of the images to this email as examples.

They are as follows.
