+Proposal for new emoji: **Body Parts**
+==================================
 
--   various hands and fingers (*touch, feel, gesture, sign*)
+- **Author:** Christoph Päper
+- **Mail:** christoph.paeper@crissov.de
+- **Submitted:** 2017-06-30
+- **Latest version:** https://crissov.github.io/unicode-proposals/body-parts
 
--   mouth (*eat, speak, blow, suck*) 👄; 🗣 (explicit); 🌬
+Introduction
+------------
 
--   lips (*kiss*) 💋 🗢
+I hereby request the addition of eight external body part emojis to the Unicode Standard in order to complete the existing set of extremities. 
+These are a **foot**, a **leg**, a **buttocks**, a generic **genital area**, a **belly**, a **breast**, a **tooth** and a **bone**. 
 
--   tongue (*taste, lick*) 👅
+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.
 
--   ear (*hear*) 👂
+Since breasts and genitals differ significantly between male and female human bodies, but their depiction is also tabooesque in many contemporary cultures, I am also proposing to document ZWJ sequences using the Female Sign ♀ U+2640 and the Male Sign ♂ U+2642 as determiners (i.e. second part), which has many precedents for fuller-body emojis (e.g. professions) from Unicode Emoji 4.0 onwards.
 
--   nose (*smell*) 👃
+The Unicode Standard already includes several body parts: 
 
--   eyes (*see*) 👁 👀
+Names
+--------------------
 
--   fingernails (*manicure*) 💅
+The preferred [English CLDR data](http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/latest/annotations/germanic.html) of the proposed characters are as follows; existing body parts shown for comparison, additions emphasized by boldface:
 
--   skull & bones (*dead*): ☠️ 💀

+### A. Compatibility:
 
--   linguistic (English):
-  * balloons 🎈🎈
+There are no known legacy character sets containing any of the body parts proposed.

+There are some emoji-like image sets, including stickers in messaging apps, that
+include graphics for body parts, which may either be explicit or implicit metaphors, e.g. a strawberry cut in half vertically to symbolize a vagina.
 
-### Phallus, penis, testicles (also: dildo, vibrator)
+### B. Expected Usage Level:

+Most existing body part emojis &ndash; except for hands &ndash; are not among the frequently used ones. Even the food emojis used metaphorically are not used much, at least not in the public metrics available.

+Factors for Exclusion
+---------------------
 
-Egyptian hieroglyphs
---------------------
+### F. Overly Specific:
+
+People rely on visual or linguistic emoji metaphors for the most wanted body parts. This is not an indication that the parts proposed herein would be overly specific, but some may be felt as overly *explicit*.
+
+### G. Open-ended:
+
+While there are several internal organs with iconic shapes and several other named external parts of the human body, the present list aims to be exhaustive.
+
+### H. Already Representable:
+
+People currently are using a variety of metaphors especially for genitalia.
+
+The meat-on-bone and the skull-with-crossbones emojis already include **bones**.
+
+### I. Logos, Brands etc.
+
+No.
+
+### J. Transient:
+
+No. The human body and its parts have been pictured and spoken about ever since humankind became able to do it, and always will.
