Now that it's no longer April 1st (at least not here in Japan), I can
add a (moderately) serious comment.

I do not know… The demos leave me completely unimpressed: emoji — by
their nature — require higher resolution than text, so an emoji for
“pie” does not save any place comparing to the word itself. So the
impact of this on everyday English-languare communication would not be
in any way beneficial.
This is somewhat different for Japanese (and languages with similar
writing systems) because they have higher line height.
