To conclude that pictograms are useless from my comment is not reading it incorrectly. Pictograms are incredibly useful in everyday life - from road signs to warning labels. A good book on this topic is Semiology of Graphics by Jacques Berkin and the classic 1936 book on International Pictographical Language which is what ISO 7001 standard is based on. To clarify again, I do not at all mean that pictograms are useless. Emojis are very useful in conveying emotions. Adding them as bullet points is decoration. I like Emojis in conversations and instant messages. I suggest reading long forms of text with emojis, I think they're an impedence. If I were to put a bet, Emojis mixed in long form articles would be severely more difficult to read in an objective pyschology test - I am a very visual person for the record but I find this term off-putting.
