Face palm: When the emoji you want doesn't exist
Do you have a favourite emoji? Maybe it's the wink or the face rolling around with tears of laughter. Perhaps if you're feeling slightly more sardonic, it's the smiling face with jazz hands.
"Every day I'm writing tweets, I'm making posts, and my kneejerk reaction is to get people excited by including an emoji," she says.
"Those really don't cover what a drone is, and they don't really act as an adequate replacement for it."
Rachel started researching who controls emojis and how she can get a drone added to the official list of characters, which is updated every year or so.
New proposals are approved or rejected by a group known as the Emoji Subcommittee, part of the Unicode Consortium, a not-for-profit organisation made up of representatives from most of the world's biggest tech firms including Google, Microsoft, Adobe and Huawei.
They meet regularly in Silicon Valley, California, and vote on draft emojis, the ideas for new characters which can come from anyone and anywhere. It's an entirely open submission process.
