Oh, did you possibly only search for titles starting with Emoji? Try searching for titles with “Apple Emoji” (626 hits starting with VA0001988550 / 2016-01-29) or use a keyword/advanced search.

Thanks for reading! I only searched for the keyword, and presumably Apple has not used the term “emoji” in its registrations. If you have an example copyright registration you can point me to, I can try to reverse engineer it to do a more comprehensive search. Thanks, Eric.

I work in-house at a large media company and the business often has questions about use of emojis. Apple doesn’t publicly offer a license for its emojis, which are frequently what the business wants to use. Cf. Twitter and Google, which each offer emoji fonts under permissive/open source licenses.
