Text from email: ...effort that went into the preparation. Each year, the Unicode Emoji Subcommittee receives far more emoji proposals than the very limited number that can be encoded. We are sorry to inform you that your proposal was not among those selected to move forward. As a small, volunteer-run nonprofit we can't provide individualized feedback on each proposal. We understand this may come as a disappointment.

Arrgghh... Gutted to say the least.

Sorry to announce that submission #2 for #CargoBikeEmoji was unsuccessful 😔

No feedback provided from Unicode.

If current guidelines stand, will be 4 yrs before a 3rd time lucky proposal in 2029. This would be a great way to finish the #DecadeOfTheCargoBike

CHRISTIANIA Cargo Trike 1984 Utility trike UK Cargo tricycle that started a revolution in urban transport On May 16, 1984, Lars Engstrom presented to his wife Annie, a box cycle he had fashioned himself. Within one hour, over morning coffee, an order was received for a second. "Ever since," says Lars, "it has been a chase" Named after Copenhagen's alternative (and automobile-free) Christiania squatter community, Christiania trikes are less bikes and more a range of load-carrying tricycles. The most popular, thanks to its large 35 x 34-in. (89 x 87-cm) all-purpose box, is the Cargo Trike. Despite its 68 lb (31 kg), it is easy to ride, turns on a dime, and can stop in a stride, thanks to mechanical disc brakes at the front. Riders accustomed to two wheels find that a pivot allows them to continue to "lean" into corners. There is nothing that cannot be customized: high or low gearing; steel or aluminum frame; short, long, or extra-long box; hydraulic or cable disc brakes. Hoods are waterproof and snowproof and come in various shapes and colors. There is even a motorized version of the trike with a maximum speed of 12½2 mph (20 kph) for extra-long rides. Thirty years ago, Copenhagen was just another car-clogged city, but now 36 percent of the population pedal their way to work-a statistic that gives Lars and Annie a sense of quiet satisfaction. BS

Yes, a classic cargo bike and where it all started for me.

Cross your fingers, send good karma, oil that chain, positive vibes...

A couple of weeks left to find out on emoji submissions and if #CargoBikeEmoji has made it through.

(Quietly optimistic but grounded in that there are a LOT of proposals each year and Unicode has strict guidelines)

8 x recommended actions that can and should be implemented everywhere....

Ok, we are into Oct and we will find out by the end of Nov, how the #CargoBikeEmoji submission v2 has gone... It's getting close!

Cross fingers, toes, anything and everything!

G'day 👍 Setting up here and making myself at home. Trying to simplify, shouting out for sustainable travel, sometimes out with my dog for a ride in a backpack on my bike to the beach and dipping in the north sea. North Shields is home but with an Aussie accent.
