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 encode proper emoji characters for the rest of the planets, at least the major ones whose physical characteristics are well known and identifiable? I mean for example identifying Sedna and Quaoar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:EightTNOs.png) is probably not going to be practical for all those other than astronomy buffs but the physical shapes of the major planets are known to all high school students… Earth = blue planet (with clouds) Mars = red planet Saturn = planet with rings I don't think any of the other ones are identifiable in a context-free setting, unless you draw a "big planet with red dot" for Jupiter. Earth would have to be depicted in a way that doesn't focus on "hemispheres", or you miss the idea of it as "planet".
