RAY SUAREZ, HOST:
Staying on the topic of words of the year, let's talk about one of the winners from two years ago - emoji - you know, those little cartoon-like pictures. One of the things to look forward to in 2018 is that dozens of new emojis will be unveiled. One of the most popular additions - redheads.
JEREMY BURGE: Red hair, yeah. People felt like they were getting left out.
SUAREZ: That's Jeremy Burge. We reached him at his home in London. He's vice-chair of the Unicode Emoji Subcommittee - yes, that's a real thing. He also runs a website called Emojipedia, devoted 1 to every minute change that has happened to the 2,600 emojis over the years.
BURGE: This is what I do - emojis from when I wake up until when I go to bed.
SUAREZ: Burge is responsible for the new emoji with red hair.
BURGE: Even though I don't have red hair myself, that was the No. 1 request we got for the last two years running, so I felt like I should step up and try and make that happen.
SUAREZ: The committee looks at all the proposed additions and winnows 2 down the list, in part based on how useful they expect the new emoji to be. So far this year, three proposed emojis didn't make the cut.
BURGE: A face with question marks over the eyes, a face that had the letters O and K over the eyes and pile of poo version that was frowning rather and smiling.
SUAREZ: Michael Everson was one of the impassioned commenters who helped kill the frowning excrement 3. We reached him on Skype about an hour west of Dublin.
MICHAEL EVERSON: Why do we need to send a picture of this? It's just - ah. It's just offensive - needlessly offensive and pointless. It's not cute. It's not funny. It isn't good in any particular way. I don't mind lobster 4, parrot, peacock, badger 5 - these are good. These are fine. But is there to be an end of it? Could we not have any class?
SUAREZ: Well, if you're looking for class, there's also a cupcake, a superhero, a llama and a teddy bear. Now that's something to smiley face about.
