The most used it is, the less bytes it takes (mostly, that's not a clear explicit rule). For instance:
- Basic latin characters, like "A", are encoded using 1 byte.
- Greek characters are encoded using 2 bytes.
- Thai characters are encoded using 3 bytes.
-
Nüshu characters (Chinese characters used exclusively among women in
Jiangyong County in Hunan province of southern China) are encoded using
4 bytes.
Following this rule, the kebab emoji should be using at maximum half a byte (4 bits)

optimization is everything. if we can shave those bits down it saves so much space in the long run for real database heavy lifting.
kebab is the only way
Meuh
Ca va déchirer !
There is no small step for a better humanity. Onward & Upward!
I agree, ANSI should even consider moving it into the next version of ASCII.
