Because you'd need 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 unique codepoints, and Unicode doesnt support that many. /s
~~Real answer is probably something something trademark at a guess?~~
Puzzle cubes are not trademarked, you can get 3rd party ones
I assumed most of those were knock off/fly-by-night kind of operations, but I'll take your word for it.
I guess we should start a poll for which Rubik's permutation should be used as the official Unicode version :D
you can request it, new emojis suggestions are reviewed once a year
Here’s the instructions on how to make a request. https://www.unicode.org/pending/proposals.html
I dunno - it's quite... ahem ...puzzling.
For the same reason there's no seahorse.
and what's that reason?
What is the use case you expect where people are going to need a Rubik's Cube character on a regular basis?
I guess maybe it could be used to symbolize "puzzle", and maybe there'd be some limited use for that, but there's already a Unicode "jigsaw puzzle piece" that I think pretty much fills that role:
goes to find it in emacs
C-x 8 RET j i g TAB
U+0x1F9E9 JIGSAW PUZZLE PIECE (🧩)
if "needing on a regular basis" is the criteria, you will have a hard time justifying some of the emojis that already exist
Can't disagree there!
What for? A stand in for complex?
Puzzling
🤔
Because they weren't big in Japan when they made the text encoding for Japanese phones.
Unicode is updated like every couple of months and new emojis get added all the time
We just got swole whale, argument, Riker’s trombone, and samsquanch approved this month
We have more than enough emoji. Thanks anyway.
