+Introduction
+------------
+
+I hereby request the addition of a [\_\_\_\_\_\_] emoji to the Unicode Standard.
+Rationals, glyph examples, character properties as well as discussion of
+inclusion and exclusion factors are included on the following pages. As per
+emoji submission guidelines
+(http://www.unicode.org/emoji/selection.html\#submission) this document does not
+include the character proposal form.

+
+Character Properties
+--------------------
+
+The preferred name of the character is “[\_\_\_\_\_\_]”. It should be added to
+the [\_\_\_\_\_\_] block near other [\_\_\_\_\_\_] emoji. Properties of the
+[\_\_\_\_\_\_] emoji should be identical to those of other emoji.
+
+-   General Category: Other Symbol (So)
+
+-   Canonical Combining Class: 0
+
+-   Bidirectional Class: Other Neutral (ON)
+
+-   Bidi Mirrored: No
+
+No case-mapping is required. The character does not decompose in any way. It is
+not whitespace nor a control character. It has no numeric value. It does [NOT\|]
+make use of emoji modifiers. It has [TEXT\|EMOJI] presentation by default. In
+collation order it should be sorted near other [\_\_\_\_\_\_] emoji. It should
+definitely be part of the [\_\_\_\_\_\_] category.
+
+Factors for Inclusion
+---------------------
+
+### A. Compatibility:
+
+There are no known legacy character sets containing [\_\_\_\_\_\_].
+
+### B. Expected Usage Level:
+
+I have included several charts supplied by Google Trends showing the frequency
+of searches for “[\_\_\_\_\_\_]” in comparison to other emoji.
+
+Google search for the term “[\_\_\_\_\_\_]” returns [\_\_\_\_\_\_] results,
+which is more than for [\_\_\_\_\_\_].
+
+### C. Image distinctiveness:
+
+...
+
+### D. Completeness:
+
+...
+
+### E. Frequently Requested:

+
+Factors for Exclusion
+---------------------
+
+### F. Overly Specific:
+
+...
+
+### G. Open-ended:
+
+...
+
+### H. Already Representable:
+
+...
+
+### I. Logos, Brands etc.
+
+...
+
+### J. Transient:
+
