At what point will you be comfortable calling Emoji a "real" language, such that it would make sense to include it in the Unicode standard? Written language, especially ones that include pictographs like Japanese and Chinese, do mutate often based on legality and popularity, similar to how people often communicate only in Emoji.

When you have examples of emoji being used to communicate on anything resembling the level of a real language, I'll buy that argument. But currently even synthetic languages like Toki Pona or Esperanto are capable of far more communication than Emoji.
