Isn’t the unicode consortium responsible for that? Not Apple?
Apple users think
steveTim apple invented computer that can internet, and the rest of us are still soldering vacuum tubes together.Didn’t you know? Emojis only exist on Apple devices!
I wonder who are the consortium’s voting members and where does the vice-chair of the Emoji subcommittee work.
So… lots of people have a say, not exclusively Apple, as per Anafabula’s statement?
If Apple (or Google for that matter) proposes a new Emoji it will get approved 101% of the times.
Honestly, I am a bit surprised the Government of India hasn’t pushed for an won this fight already. (Though as one that has not traveled to India, I am uncertain if Indians uses Kettles as much as the British.)

Not bad
I’ve delved into the darkest corners of the “character map”, and offer you the following kettles (or watering cans, depending on the font you’re using):

Perfection. Really appreciate the effort here
Thank you. Totally worth it ⸃▇⦆ :)

This was why it was a terrible idea adding emoji to unicode in the first place. It’s inevitable that now you need to provide little pictures for every single goddamn household object and every single possible facial expression (and there’s STILL no adequate confused face)

Error 418: That’s a teapot
That’s not a kettle

Ah, but that’s a US power plug, do you want to wait 8 minutes for the meagre dribble of volts they provide to eventually boil the water? Not like our glorious high speed kettles. How about:

In the US, you just need to connect the kettle to a car charger 😉
The USness of the plug is a font issue. I don’t believe the Unicode standard specifies. Switch to a UK English font.
Ah the plug unification fiasco, truly the Unicode consortium’s greatest error
Don’t put the teapot in the onsen
The UK power plug is 📌💣👣
Looks like a type F or type C plug to me, got em all over Europe.
