Small additional point:

    1.  The base-emoji rule is there to give people something to use if 
they want a set and don't have one of their own.  It has no other role; 
it therefore does not matter where it came from.

    2.  It is intentional that there is no reference provided, because 
providing one would merely create an opportunity to debate whether that 
was the right set to choose.

    3.  If it makes folk feel better, let's call it "daves-emojis" or 
"random-emojis".

If someone want to claim that somehow one or another emoji in that set 
is a problem, they should do that.  If someone want to offer a nifty, 
superior set for the base-emoji rule, they should do that.
