Well, exactly. Emoji are the pictographic emoticons that were in common use on Japanese phones in proprietary encodings.



Well sure, but since when is emoji part of unicode?

Emoji is a lot more mainstream now, too. Both Android and iOS support them, not just 'Japanese phones'.


Uh, what?

Um, yes. I said "that were". I realise it is now mainstream now because it is now in Unicode.
