Unicode is supposed to be a universal way of representing every character in every language. Emojis are not characters. They are sequences of characters that people use to represent images. I do not understand how an argument can even be made that they belong in Unicode. As I said, it's exactly the same as arguing that words should be represented in Unicode. Unfortunately, however, at least some of them are in there. :| - Jonathan M Davis
