Why not just use the emoji..?

  Same discussion as when people shifted the encoding of their source code files from iso to utf-8? :) I think it's good that you have the most popular encoding for your source and don't have non-printable characters in there. I'm pretty sure the majority of fonts won't display them correctly. So I'd absolutely prefer to not have emojis in my code.

  I think emojis are less clear than plain text. Even with a good Emoji font-set, I have no clue what more than half of the emojis out there are supposed to be; on Windows, I have no clue what like 90% of them are since they are monochrome outlines. Also, inputting Emojis on most PCs is a pain. There's also no drawback to doing this, since emojis all have unicode names anyway. So it's not like you're creating an entirely new standard.
