Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs is a Unicode block containing meteorological and astronomical symbols, emoji characters largely for compatibility with Japanese telephone carriers' implementations of Shift JIS, and characters originally from the Wingdings and Webdings fonts found in Microsoft Windows.
The block contains 637 emoji: U+1F300–U+1F321, U+1F324–U+1F393, U+1F396–U+1F397, U+1F399–U+1F39B, U+1F39E–U+1F3F0, U+1F3F3–U+1F3F5, U+1F3F7–U+1F4FD, U+1F4FF–U+1F53D, U+1F549–U+1F54E, U+1F550–U+1F567, U+1F56F–U+1F570, U+1F573–U+1F57A, U+1F587, U+1F58A–U+1F58D, U+1F590, U+1F595–U+1F596, U+1F5A4–U+1F5A5, U+1F5A8, U+1F5B1–U+1F5B2, U+1F5BC, U+1F5C2–U+1F5C4, U+1F5D1–U+1F5D3, U+1F5DC–U+1F5DE, U+1F5E1, U+1F5E3, U+1F5E8, U+1F5EF, U+1F5F3 and U+1F5FA–U+1F5FF.
The block has 156 standardized variants defined to specify emoji-style (U+FE0F VS16) or text presentation (U+FE0E VS15) for the following 78 base characters: U+1F321, U+1F324–U+1F32C, U+1F336, U+1F37D, U+1F396–U+1F397, U+1F399–U+1F39B, U+1F39E–U+1F39F, U+1F3CB–U+1F3CE, U+1F3D4–U+1F3DF, U+1F3F3, U+1F3F5, U+1F3F7, U+1F43F, U+1F441, U+1F4FD, U+1F549–U+1F54A, U+1F56F–U+1F570, U+1F573–U+1F579, U+1F587, U+1F58A–U+1F58D, U+1F590, U+1F5A5, U+1F5A8, U+1F5B1–U+1F5B2, U+1F5BC, U+1F5C2–U+1F5C4, U+1F5D1–U+1F5D3, U+1F5DC–U+1F5DE, U+1F5E1, U+1F5E3, U+1F5E8, U+1F5EF, U+1F5F3 and U+1F5FA. All of these base characters default to a text presentation.
The Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictoraphs block has 49 emoji that represent people or body parts. For these, a set of "Emoji modifiers" are defined. These are modifier characters intended to define the skin colour to be used for the emoji, based on the Fitzpatrick scale:
The draft document suggesting the introduction of this system for the representation of "human diversity" was submitted in 2015 by Mark Davis of Google and Peter Edberg of Apple Inc.
