Mostly because a lot of browsers do not support emojis at all, and they’ve become pretty ubiquitous.

- NhanH 12y agoThey're a mean to be expressive via text ... and I really hate the fact that apps are replacing the text with the image. I can always recognize what a string of emoji is supposed to be (there will be obscure one, but then that's entirely dependent on who you're communicating with). Replacing the emoji with the image means that I now have to decipher the image. Not to mention that everyone does it differently. For example, ":))" and "=))" is not the same, and it's really hard to guess which one is which in most of the apps. Yes, I know this whole comment is silly...
- jonhohle 12y agoThis is in reference to the Emoji Unicode code pages, not ASCII emoticons. Characters like 👾🍭💔💩 It seems like the image pack they were using did not represent the full Unicode set. ATM, there are still many applications which either don't have access to fonts with those characters or don't otherwise work with code points in that range.
