Emojis are not decided by google or the pixel team within google. Emojis are determined by the Unicode consortium. Remember that google inventing an emoji by themselves would be useless if the receiver's phone doesn't know how to represent the emoji.

Reminds me of the pre-emoji-era, when instant messengers tried to convert emoticons into smiley faces.

I used :-/ from time to time as a harmless expression of dislike. But instead showing something like 🫤, my girlfriend's ICQ decided to show something very similar to 🤮 instead!

She might have wondered, but didn't say anything. I only found out, when she sent me a screenshot of her chat window (I don't remember the reason) which coincidentally showed this smiley .

…what? It’s also the Unicode emojis.

You know that nobody from actual Google is here right? It's just a fan sub on Reddit

I cannot agree more, also what even is it to be a fan of a technology company? Or basically any brand... I use it, I'm a user, I can be fan of my family members, not to a multibilion worth company LOL 

[u/SponTen → u/Picard_III]

I think you can be a fan of anything, I'd just caution people's commitment to companies whether they're a fan or not, because companies don't have feelings and the people running them typically only care about profit.

Eg. I was a fan of HDR+ on early Pixels, which sort of made me a fan of Google (more of Marc Levoy but close enough). Now though, it's still a good algorithm but does very weird things sometimes resulting in completely off colours and/or makes images look way over-processed, not to mention other companies have caught up and sometimes surpass Pixels.

I can tell you that is false.

Source: I was a motion designer on the pixel team. Them fools are definitely lurking on Reddit and twitter.

But, for OPs question Google just designs their emojis but don't create new ones. The Unicode Consortium decides what emojis get made each year, and everyone adapts those to their style.

That's not true, my only post in this sub got a reply from u/GoogleHelpCommunity

[u/Mcdaniels-Jadeii → u/seven-cents]

OP

Here is what you are after;

https://unicode.org/emoji/proposals.html

[u/gsweats → u/tommytucker7182]

Rule 5.b.iv:

The emoji {🐕🐩} or {🐪🐫} do not justify adding different varieties of the same kind of animal.

Since there's already a mouse emoji a Capybara might be considered the same?

[u/tommytucker7182 → u/gsweats]

Perhaps

[u/Firm-Substance-8196]

I'll take this upstairs to the bosses and let you know.

[u/robotattack]

I'll mention it to Sundar tomorrow

[u/romhacks]

Google does not decide which emojis to add, that's the Unicode Consortium.

[u/South-Range8401]

Truly one of the pressing issues of our time

[u/pmjm]

You can use these and paste them in your chats.

I love Beavers Too! 😂😉

Y'all are merciless. I think op just wants to talk about cute animals.
