Unicode and utf-8 are fine. The one at fault is the one who thought that Unicode was a good place to put things like "GIANT POOP WITH FLIES".

  Emoji was originally added because of Unicode's mission. It wasn't some rando who thought, "we should put a smiley face emoji". It was because Japanese phones used JIS encodings that had them in it.

    More have been added since. Unicode has even become synonymous to emojis in general or even tech "enthousiast" media

      Who cares? In what way does it matter if lay people think Unicode is about emojis?

  I use the poop emoji often, I don’t see anything wrong with it. Sometimes it’s faster to convey an idea with that than with a sentence.

  Emojis seem very much like a net positive in terms of getting developers in western nations to think about support for non-Latin characters. Poop emoji might be dumb, but it doesn’t seem to hurt anything and if it makes developers support Unicode better, awesome.
