In 2008, before it’s official Unicode release, Google’s designers crafted a poop emoji that was faceless and had animated flies buzzing around it. Gmail originally fought the inclusion of this emoji citing its vulgar nature, but they were ultimately convinced to include it by emoji’s creators. Google added in the smiling face in 2014 (it had become an industry-wide standard by this point). There is now debate about whether to include a frowning poo emoji.
