Well I can think of a popular pseudo-planet, the "Death Star" or "Black Star" (for the "Star Wars" series), which is easily recognized by its color and shape (with the deep built crater, and optionally its destroyed half part) which also looks like a real planet, the Saturnian moon Mimas with its

Proposals for planet emoji were submitted in April 2017: https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2017/17100-planet-emoji-seq.pdf http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2017/17100r-planet-emoji-seq.pdf I’m not sure what the result was. Anshu > On Jan 18, 2018, at 12:46 PM, Asmus Freytag (c) via Unicode >

Hello people. We have sun, earth and moon emoji (3 for the earth and more for the moon's phases). But we don't have emoji for the rest of the planets. We have astrological symbols for all the planets and a few non-existent imaginary "planets" as well. Given this, would it be impractical to
