For the operator set, maybe we could start with some small subset of 100 (totally random number here) operators that are commonly requested and seem obvious, then expand it out to a principled set once UAX31 is resolved?  

+1 to this approach. 

Regarding emoji, I don’t really use them much myself, so I’m favor of the minimal amount of work needed to get them under control (for now).  I’d rather see the effort spent elsewhere.  The operator stuff is interesting though.
