Your request may not have gone to the right place.
We discussed this back in mid-August of 2018 on this list.
I think that a proposal, even if initially rejected as out-of-scope,
would be more likely to be read by actual emoji users (and vendors) than
feedback on an obscure web page. If any kind of demand for such
characters ensued, surely any abstract objections would be waived in
this case. But don't you think it more likely that if users and vendors
wanted pronoun emoji, they would design language-independent
pictographs? I do, and that's why I pointed out that you were devising
a ConScript rather than inventing "emoji".
