But that doesn't change the fact that most people use them snd like them, and there is not much technical disruption. They just chose practicality over purity.

- yakireev 4y agoMost people (me included) like funny cat videos and send funny cat videos. Shall we include some to Unicode? I mean, this ship has long sailed, but that was a mistake nevertheless. Not everything has to be a unicode character.
- kadoban 4y agoIf there were specific funny cat videos that were culturally relevent, maybe. For example I could see there being an emoji for keyboard cat.
- eternityforest 4y agoThat wouldn't be practical. It would make fonts too big, and videos aren't a thing that goes inline in text. However, I could totally see some kind of open source GIF library of a few hundred meme videos and pictures, to standardize the "Reply with a GIF" thing in some P2P chat ecosystem, and maybe it could have a new URL scheme for referring to OpenMemes images.
- bawolff 4y agoNot only that - people use them in textual communication the way letters traditionally are used. There is probably a lot better argument for emoiji than a lot of other things in unicode (but it is a slippery slope)
