Why could Apple possibly not have the Confederate flag emoji?
Because... not wanting to have to deal with racism? News flash: There's no official ISO 3166 code for a confederate flag, regardless of IOS or Android. You're not typing one.

Why isn't the "Super S" an emoji?
You mean the "Cool S", right? Well, the standard for encoding text (and emoji) on computers is Unicode - they have a list of selection factors for what make good emoji candidates. The Cool S, sadly, doesn't seem to fulfill the requirements, being an exact image (instead of a representation of a broad concept) and not having any sort of apparent use. It might fare better as a non-emoji symbol (like 🗫), those seem to have less strict requirements. In any case, I can't find any evidence that somebody's gone to the effort to write up a full proposal, just this somewhat half-hearted suggestion from 2018.

"Arial" may be simple, but it has one significant flaw....
I see lots of misinformation following this about copyright and fonts. In the United States, fonts are copyright-able as programs but not as letterforms. You cannot copyright the basic elements of language, so anyone can make his own executable program (i.e. a font file) that has literally any glyph in it without infringing on copyright. Note that some things that we make think of as glyphs (e.g. the recycling sign or the textile care symbols) can be trademarks and protected under that class of intellectual property law.

Unicode Proposal – Textile Care Symbols
There's more proposals here:
https://github.com/Crissov/unicode-proposals/issues/
There's a rather whimsical one proposed called the Priest Emoji!
https://github.com/Crissov/unicode-proposals/issues/425
Instead of having proposals, why not just implement every thing/subject/object we can think of?

If we’re adding useless characters, why not at least use a real language?
Are you aware of this proposal: https://github.com/stevengj/subsuper-proposal?

New to Julia, loving that I can use math symbols in code. However, only a very small selection of letters seem to be available as variable name indices?
It's not Julia that's the problem but Unicode itself is missing subscripts and superscripts for many ASCII characters. I know that sounds silly, because it is, and so the Julia community actually has a proposal to the Unicode committee to fix this (https://github.com/stevengj/subsuper-proposal). Instead, the Unicode committee has been spending its time adding new emojis.
