→Emojis in signatures

Basically, should we have some clear rules on them? Or just treat them as images and not allow more than two? Here's why I think this matters - if it's a case of wiki space, one emoji only uses up 4 bytes and is recalled by whatever device the viewing user is on. Images take up the space of the image plus the code required for parsing, scaling, etc. What do people think?

: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. I think you will find [https://unicode.org/faq/emoji_dingbats.html this] explains a lot.
