QID Emoji Proposal

QID emoji is a proposed mechanism for additional interchangable emoji that is not required to be accepted by Unicode Consortium and yet semantically stable. It makes use of Wikidata subject identifiers (Q12345 etc.), hence the name.

There had been multiple proposals for vendor-specific emojis: coded hashes of arbitrary images [1] (analysis in [2]), private use emoji [3] and now this (originally [4]). Two Public Review Issues ([5] and [6]) are open for this mechanism right now.
