While Instagram would not be considered "permanent archived" for RFV purposes anyway, I had a look at what uses the 🏯 tag (Instagram being one of the few websites where emoji are widely used and easy to search). The first pictures are: a Chinese gate, the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana, an Indonesian shrine, two pictures of a woman dressed as a samurai, a set of pictures of Osaka castle and Osaka in general, other castles and temples in Japan, and a plane ticket to Beijing. I don't see a lot of evidence that people specifically mean "Japanese castle" when they use this symbol - it just seems to be used to tag anything that looks Asian.

As far as I know, Google doesn't allow searches for emoji. There's really no way to attest emojis through normal means. It doesn't seem reasonable to apply standard attestation criteria when standard attestation methods don't work. -Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 15:50, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

It does allow searches for emoji, it just does not necessarily return results. Web searches return a handful of them, for whatever it may be worth. — Keφr 16:14, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Why don't we put them all into an appendix? SemperBlotto (talk) 15:54, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

What should be in it? — Keφr 16:14, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

We already have such an appendix: Appendix:Unicode/Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs Smurrayinchester (talk) 17:53, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
