Nah, I think keeping unicode as "characters" is fine. It's perfectly reasonable to encode non-linguistic data as characters if they're using in such wise. Edit

Edit: to circle back, you said: How are emoji different from other logograms? and everything thereafter was pointless pedantry on my part. Sorry for wasting valuable minutes of your life.

No waste at all, you raised a good point :). Emoji are technically ideograms, not logograms ... though some of the Han characters are ideographic in origin/conception too (and then you get into cool things like compound ideograms), they just didn't stay purely ideographic.
