> it's no longer a Japanese word, and doesn't have to follow Japanese rules No word ever has to follow any rules. Nonetheless it's pretty typical for loan words to keep rules like this from the source language, at least until different usage becomes widespread.

> Nonetheless it's pretty typical for loan words to keep rules like this from the source language I wouldn't even know of the japanese rules to "keep" when pluralizing "emoji". Apart from that, as an city-dwelling Indian, quite a lot of our language borrows words from English and Hindi when we are not speaking either of these languages. The rules are always that of the target language, rather than the source language.
