An interesting trend is happening in Telegram (maybe not only there). Telegram on all platforms natively supports so called "stickers", basically a picture which replaces emoji. They are custom made by users and client supports seamless adding new packs to your library with a single click. Once a good pack is introduced first time in a chat it spreads like a virus if it is interesting enough. And bad packs are silently ignored. So, these sticker packs have effectively replaced any emoji other than generic smiley, because emojis today are simply bad. Looking at them it feels like a kindergarten book. Stickers on the other hand can be anything you want - sarcastic, offensive, insulting, dumb etc.
