Emoji enthusiasts seeking to devise a universal pictographic set might be well-advised to build from existing work such as Blissymbolics. I think William Overington's designs are clever, though. Anyone who has ever studied a foreign language (or even their own language) would easily and quickly recognize the intended meanings of the symbols once they understand the derivation.
