    Many scissor emoji couldn't close, and ants don't have a waist - accuracy is not a core requirement of emoji. I noticed that the flipped person with cane emoji became left handed. Will we get dominant hand modifiers and more permutations? https://curlicuecal.tumblr.com/post/175362924100/an-entomolo... https://wh0.github.io/2020/01/02/scissors.html
