Apple designers may pore over the smallest details of emoji, from classics like the poo symbol or the dancing woman to newer additions like New York bagel and bald person.

You can make your own, as well, usingEmoji Builder. It’s a simple web page applications that lets you design emojis, with a simple palette of eyes, mouths, and accessories and a canvas where you can concoct icons. As you click on the palette the elements appear on the screen, while a control panel on the right lets you remove and modify different elements.
