I don't care who they send, prairie dogs and squirrels are different and deserve different emojis!

Maybe after Han unification we also need a squirrel unification and leave this distinction to the font which is picked based on the region you're in ...

That being said, I already cannot parse many emoji and would love tooltips what they are supposed to represent in all places.

Yep, that's how I learned you can directly google an emoji and find the emojipedia page for it.
