Request for immediate changes to PERSON WITH WHITE CANE (etc) emoji

[Alexander Schneider]

Maybe sai tells the cane manufacturers about those risks?
They could use magnets (or whatever, that will not resets some cards) for:
(Hand) loop >> connection << cane
Btw.: I don't get it, how an emoji (sic!) has more influence than experience -> especially in a situation like this.

However, 
sai, your post was very informative - and I am really impressed by your great formating skills.
But shouldn't they wearing: 
a bracelet for the blinds, too?
Possibly there are not enough pixels for such small details...

Have a great time (all) & sorry for bad grammar

Is there a First Nations emoji that looks like the old Washington Redskins mascot? Is there a Black emoji with a bone in its lip? Would those be ok?

Remember the fiasco with the Japanese combining characters, which nobody uses. Like that, this seems to suggest a lack of care/research by the Consortium into real-world usage. And isn’t real-world usage the fundamental goal of Unicode?
