Emoji combined characters work natively in TW. But I think you mean actual 
images embedded in a Tiddler?

Right. a couple of things occur to me to maybe look at ... 

*Editor* behaviour. Part of the issue is ability to make/insert images 
during edit without segway to a separate Tiddler. Mark S. and BTC some time 
ago suggested some proofs of concept of *creating new Tiddlers inline 
during edit without segway*. I have not had time to fully test their code 
ideas which I think are very neat and want to get working well sometime. To 
get an idea see: 
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/B0VGpW27MC4/bNVAKOxCCQAJ. 

*Placement*. I'd say that easier setting size of the insertion and its 
placement would matter. In old tools like Word, insertions can be sized & 
scaled in context using either handles at the edge of the inserted image or 
manual numeric sizing. Drag-to-Move placement within context is also common 
with text reflow.  Other types of tool overlay the item in an invisible box 
at some point relative to the containing div. I guess what I'm wondering if 
much of this could be achieved through some form of transclusion -- maybe 
with addition of an approach to editing similar to last point.
