Very interesting article and background. My father’s side of the family is all from Mysuru but also long roots in Udupi and Manipal. I’ll ask if anybody are Tulu speakers, I don’t think so as I’ve never heard of it.
You see, adding pictures women with white cane facing right, limes and pregnant men is a very important and time consuming job! Standardizing encoding for some human language people use is just not as important!
Emoji are part of unicode. And people demand more of them, so it’s no surprise they put effort into those, even if OP thinks they are not important.Few people appreciate the unicode consortium for their originally intended work.

I was not expecting the drama around it. Is the issue truly a different orthography or is more like a different font/ligature issue?
EDIT: forgot the article I found on it: https://restofworld.org/2021/tulu-unicode-script/

It’ll be added when they’d find some free time!

These are emojis, not unicode right?
Edit: well, TIL.
Emoji are defined as part of Unicode, so they can be encoded alongside other text:

Random transphobia mixed in amongst a good point.
