FFS why do we even need emoji? This is ridiculous.
- ZeWaren 10y agoEmoji is the new punctuation.

- thiht 10y agoDon't use non obvious acronyms please, that's really annoying
- mratzloff 10y agoIt's a pretty common abbreviation. Fun fact, not actually an acronym (acronyms are pronounceable words like radar and laser).
- drdeca 10y agoI recognized it as somewhat common but I didn't know what it stood for. I have now looked it up, and am including the definition for the convenience of anyone who also didn't know it: It apparently stands for " For fscks sake" except with the s swapped for another letter.
- roywiggins 10y agoThey're a cultural import from Japan. People like them. That's really a good enough reason.
- krapp 10y agoNo one ever complains about the Egyptian hieroglyphs, or Linear A, or alchemical symbols, or any of the actual useless cruft in Unicode... just emoji. Why? Is it the poo emoji? Do people hate emoji because they're popular? I don't understand. The utility of including emoji in Unicode is more evident than with a lot of other character sets. It shouldn't even be controversial.
