-The current emoji set cannot express the concept of turning things “on” and “off.” There are various up ⬆️and down ⬇️arrows, but these are included in arrow sets that can also go in other directions, which does not communicate the same binary choice, nor do they have any association with powered devices. There are play ▶️, pause ⏸️, and stop ⏹️buttons, but these are also not binary and not nearly as expressive: one does not “stop” the lights or “play” the A/C. +The current emoji set cannot express the concept of turning things “on” and “off.” There are various up ⬆️ and down ⬇️ arrows, but these are included in arrow sets that can also go in other directions, which does not communicate the same binary choice, nor do they have any association with powered devices.

-Even expressing these concepts individually is a challenge. The existing ways to express “off” are highly specific, like “mobile phone off” 📴or “sound off” 🔇, and therefore cannot be easily combined with other emoji to establish new contexts or meanings. And almost no emojis even approximate “on.” The various devices that one might turn on do not have corresponding “on” and “off” versions—there is only one lightbulb 💡, for instance, and it is typically rendered lit. +Even expressing these concepts individually is a challenge.
