Which makes it not clearly-defined as intending to enter a contract.
The action of sending an emoji, unlike handing someone cash or signing a contract, is not an action that inherently implies entering into an agreement for exchange of goods and services.
If you're being honest, you and I both know that that is not how emojis are used. So to carve this out and go, "oh yeah, that is enough to constitute an implicit acceptance of contract terms" is insane.
If I post "You will send me $50." on Twitter and someone likes it (which also involves responding with a thumbs-up emoji), are they then obligated to send me money?
