Google Trends reports that in general people search for 'floppy disk' ⅓ as much as 'typewriter'. Just look at this comparison: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=typewriter,floppy%20disk,rolodex<br /><br />I hereby put forth the candidacy of the Underwood No.5 as the emoji face of typewriting. After all, post-Underwood most machines changed to the same general form factor and the No.5 is one of the most common machines out there.T1peM0nkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15096869125292271160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-40769973697260530252015-10-25T16:13:26.313-04:002015-10-25T16:13:26.313-04:00Oops.

The generic instructions are here: and the parts that apply only to emoji are here: It looks as though the right way to move things forward would be to submit a formal proposal, probably after working through the emoji selection guidelines and at least preparing an argument why the typewriter would meet them. On my first read, I think it looks like we'd have a fairly strong case.Bill Owenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049211051802893173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-172035348075838502015-10-10T13:36:53.732-04:002015-10-10T13:36:53.732-04:00 a few possibilities :)
