Have any "pain" emojis been rejected, or has merely nobody officially proposed them? (which anyone can do, no club membership required)

IDK, but either way the end result is a system which is unuseful for expressing common ideas.

In Japanese, ideographs (Kanji) are paired with syllabic characters (Hiragana) to express things which Kanji alone cannot. Foreign words are spelled in Katakana (another syllabic script). There's also romaji -- a way of writing Japanese in the familiar Latin alphabet.

Incompleteness is manifestly NOT a problem for an ideographic script.
