:Considering emojis are different from images I wouldn't oppose having a seperate policy, yet at the same time I'm not that knowledgeable on how this stuff works. Since their somewhat treated as regular text I don't really know if having a seperate policy is necessary, unless they have an effect on loading times. One of the main reasons having too many images is disallowed is due to them slowing loading times on slower devices, along with the larger amount of code and bytes needed to display them. However I don't recall having that problem with emojis though. I'll be '''neutral''' for now until others share their thoughts.

::Indeed, and another point in favour of emoji is that they are embedded in Unicode, which basically means they sit among the calling flags of ordinary text, among other things.

:::While I am not opposed to this idea, something worth noting is that different emojis show up on different platforms, and some are even exclusive to some platforms. An example I can think of off the top of my head is the various LGBT flags, which are shown on certain devices as the white flag (you know, the one famous for its association with <s>France</s> surrenders) and different sex symbols by it.
