16-bit emoji (For the 16th anniversary) #16Boston-its

cs3868895

If the scratch is turning 16 soon, then why not would a 16-bit emoji added? It actually fits really well with scratch as there are many 16 bits games, which is what scratch is known for. We have 16-bit game makers, artists, animators, etc. Maybe an alien 16-bit emoji will work just fine or another 16 bit emoji. just m a k e Scratch's 16th anniversary theme 16- bits. Pls.

You can make mockups too!

Support. It'd be a cool thing to have, and there aren't any real downsides (it's just an emoji).

Yep. Support. It would be a great idea.

Very constructive support here.
I really support this. It fits for the 16th Anniversary as 16-bit is well, “16” and some people may like the old '90s retro game style back then.

looks good, but I think scratch should go into the more classic 16-bits, aside from undertale as a reference to 16-bits.

I think the emoji should actually be 16-bits somehow. Maybe with 16-bit color? I'll try to think of more ways it could be 16-bit.

If this were to really be 16-bit, I think it would have to be a PNG specified by the PNG16 format: https://r0k.us/graphics/png16.html
