Frankly, I don't understand some of your logic on macumors.. It's not apple who is coming up with these but the Unicode Consortium is..
I think some at Apple have too much time on their hands that would be better spent if they were redeployed elsewhere rather than Unicode Consortium, where if it takes that many to come up with an emoji, the world is really in a bad place.

Weird that this needs a 'release'.
It's not possible for this to be a simple graphic that iPhones/Macs sync with on apple's servers?

Time to disband the Unicode consortium? If all they do is add new emojis, perhaps they should be forced to do a productive job instead.
It's just MR trolling the users for 'engagement' and ad views. It's the same every single time, with a bunch of people somehow thinking these things are Apple's idea or that it's taking resources away from other things. Like producing 7 emojis in a year is somehow taking resources away from Siri. MacRumors know exactly what they're doing with these posts. Hopefully the readers will get wise to it and stop responding so predictably.
Please tell me you’re being sarcastic. There’s no way you don’t understand why your proposal makes absolutely zero sense.
Sark is a British Crown Dependency under the jurisdiction of Guernsey. Why they have received their own ISO code is another question.
Apple adds new emoji to the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and other devices regularly based on updates made to the emoji catalog by the Unicode Consortium, and the there are seven new emoji that we could see sometime in late 2024 or early 2025.
The next emoji characters being considered include face with bags under eyes, fingerprint, leafless tree, root vegetable, harp, shovel, and splatter.
The Unicode Consortium today opened the beta review period for Unicode 16, which includes the new emoji characters. The beta period lasts until July 2, and after that, Unicode 16 will see a release and the new characters will be officially approved.
It often takes smartphone makers like Apple several months to create artwork for new emoji characters that are approved, so it is likely we won't see these new emoji until after iOS 18 launches. Apple will likely add the new characters sometime around March 2025, around when iOS 18.4 comes out.
Apple last introduced new emoji with the iOS 17.4 update that was released in March 2024. Characters added in iOS 17.4 include lime, an edible brown mushroom, a phoenix, a broken chain, shaking head vertically (as in a "yes" nod), and shaking head horizontally (a "no" head shake).

Oh no. This is not going to go over well at all.
