Comment on Emoji Under the Hoodparent

Comments

It's for "Emoji SubCommittee" (aka ESC).

Unicode Emoji Subcommittee:
The Unicode Emoji Subcommittee is responsible for the following:
- Updating, revising, and extending emoji documents such as UTS #51: Unicode Emoji and Unicode Emoji Charts.
- Taking input from various sources and reviewing requests for new emoji characters.
- Creating proposals for the Unicode Technical Committee regarding additional emoji characters and new emoji-related mechanisms.
- Investigating longer-term mechanisms for supporting emoji as images (stickers).

Edit: Welp, the parent comment was asking what "ESC" stands for, but has now been updated, so this comment is now outdated :)

Sorry, yeah I was originally asking about what ESC stands for but found some info shortly after and updated my comment. But I appreciate the additional info anyways :)
