When you want to express your complete rage at the incompetence of leadership over text, in a way that says "I would like to see their heads removed at the neck with a large falling blade and rolled into little baskets" but less literal and more succinct, an emoji would help a lot.
Sadly, there is no guillotine emoji, despite "guillotine them" being the ruling sentiment of the pissed-off proletariat for the last... well, probably many years, but more lately, as tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets in protests around the world.
Lisbon-based artist Carrozo is lobbying the Unicode Consortium to include a guillotine in its next emoji update, and has sent an application outlining why the people need the 18th century execution machine in their emoji lexicon.

On the one hand, as an old fart who isn't in on the indecipherable trains of images that gen-Z uses to communicate sometimes, I despise them.
On the other hand, if they weren't standardized then we'd probably have Google emoji, Apple emoji, Mozilla emoji, Microsoft Active Emoji that are being used to run unauthorized code as admin, and the interminable wait for "the year of emoji on the Linux desktop".
