Unicode is OK (flawed but OK), emoji in Unicode suck.
The worst part is Unicode breaking existing documents by retroactively converting some common symbols emoji-default, despite supposed stability guarantees.
The second worst part is the emoji combining sequences becoming an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp.
