Rather than Emoji it might be better if people learnt Han ideographs

One wonders why the Japanese, who already know Han ideographs, took to emoji as
they did....
All the ancient emoji characters we inherited from our ancestors were already
turned into Han ideographs like this[1][2], so we needed new ones to add more
Han ideographs in next centuries ;)
You may be on to something :)
