- 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.
