Tangential, but I can hardly be the only one who thinks emoji are stuck in a preteen mindset, with poop being the naughtiest thing expressible. Which serious language has no words for sex, drugs and the tragedies that haunt a human life?

Again, trying to eliminate grief by decree. And then we wonder why everyone is depressed. If negative things are so undesirable, why do we represent them in the arts?

I was going to say something as intense as grief is too much for emojis, but it would mark the maturing of the glyphs.
I was really hoping I could put pineapple on a pizza, because that's an emotion that's hard to put into words
We need + for that.
Although Pizza is from the South of Italy isn't it, and Pisa is in the North.
Leaning tower of Pizza, you just know there's a T-shirt of that.

In the same way, emoji are glyphes and just symbols. We will attach meaning to each symbol, combinations of symbols and context, and will express whatever we want with it.
Just like people say "this is the shit", and "this is shit", and it says litterally the opposite of each other.
E.G: we already use the eggplant to talk about sex.

It's not a language, you're not supposed to write Shakespeare with emojis. In technical parlance, human language is Turing-complete, emojis are a limited scripting language to expand our expressive ability. Nobody is replacing Objective C in macOS with Applescript.

Too bad I can't share because that site has emojis in the URL and HN eats them.
I noticed this on gBoard in the last year and have had a ton of fun discovering combos. Mix penguin with a lot of other animals and they wear a tuxedo, like: https://emoji.supply/kitchen/?%F0%9F%90%A7+%F0%9F%A6%89=8kr
