Emoji for major planets at least?

For what it's worth, the Sky Web logo was a planet with a ring or orbit and it was included in the J-Phone, later Vodafone then SoftBank, emoji set at position F-75 (next to the paperplane for their Skywalker service). As a proprietary logo, it was not included in the final proposal emerging from the emoji4unicode project, but it was documented as e-E78, EMOJI COMPATIBILITY SYMBOL-58.
