絵文字小委員会

絵文字の提案審査・符号化ガイドラインの策定・新絵文字の承認勧告を担当するUnicodeのワーキンググループ。

The Emoji Subcommittee (ESC) is the first review body for all emoji proposals. It evaluates proposals against published selection criteria and makes recommendations to the Unicode Technical Committee (UTC).

The ESC meets regularly to review proposals, discuss encoding issues, and develop guidelines for emoji implementation. Members include representatives from Unicode member organizations and invited experts.

The committee has become increasingly selective over time, as the emoji set has matured and the bar for new additions has risen.
