I think it’s a good time to end this conversation. Whether ‘nonsense’ or not, emoji are here and they’re in Unicode. This conversation has itself become nonsense, d’y’all agree? The amount of time that people have spent on this discussion could’ve been directed towards work on any one of the unencoded scripts listed at: http://www.linguistics.berkeley.edu/sei/scripts-not-encoded.html As many have noted during this discussion, the emoji “ship has already sailed”. I’d’ve jumped aboard sooner, but this metaphor is now also quite tired. 😴 All my best, Anshu
