Illustrating another facet of problems with emojis and icons. For example, an image of a duck. Is it meant to be a duck, a goose, a pigeon, or a bird? Don't you love that ancient oil lamp icon that is supposed to mean "oil pressure"? Unlike words, you cannot even look up the definition of an emoji or icon.
Icon based written languages have been replaced over time with phonetic ones. There's a good reason for that. Icons and emoji don't work.
Constantly inventing new ones and adding them to Unicode is simply retarded.
There, I said it!!
