In this context that equals sign is more powerful than used on other combinations.

As a classic example of a naturally evolved emoticon language, on the SomethingAwful forums anyone could (and still can) buy an emoticon for $30. Here they all are: https://forums.somethingawful.com/misc.php?action=showsmilie...
Surprised there are so few. Conditions for buying one for $30 are here: https://store.somethingawful.com/products/smilie.php
I should confess that I absolutely added :ohdear: :colbert: :v: :argh: :welp: and a fair few others to Slack at work.

No jealousy or loneliness
I've always thought U+01F97A FACE WITH PLEADING EYES does an okay job of representing loneliness. If you were to tint U+01F616 CONFOUNDED FACE green, it would be good for jealousy, perhaps.
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?

Yes, this is because emojis are created by committee. The Unicode committee to be precise. If instead emojis could be drawn and inserted in messages and maintained and shared through emoji-libraries by actual users, then we would get an actual naturally evolving language. Much more interesting.
On Telegram, one can make one’s own sticker packs by simply uploading a bunch of images. I see a lot of sticker packs on the theme of “my fursona expressing various emotions”, and it is pretty common to see one person have a new idea for an emotion or interaction, which is rapidly copied into other people’s sets when they have the resources available to create or commission a new drawing. Furries being furries, a lot…
They're used for everything, but they both: * Capture an emotion with more granularity than available emojis * Capture an intended physical action whether sfw or nsfw (owo) * Invoke everything that comes with seeing your character "come to life" as well as assisting you in embodying that character (like a fursuit does)

This is literally Telegram stickers.
Are these stickers inline? It's not a language if you can't make a sentence.
People tend to use stickers in amongst regular text in a way that's more "I could write out how I feel/what I'm going to do to you/what you're going to do to me, but instead I will _show_ you".
Take the regular language in between stickers as the grammar/conjunctions as conjunctions are to regular language.
I like bacterial recovering heart https://emoji.supply/kitchen/?%E2%9D%A4%EF%B8%8F%E2%80%8D%F0... and watermelon poop https://emoji.supply/kitchen/?%F0%9F%8D%89+%F0%9F%92%A9=fqu
I prefer this mix https://emoji.supply/kitchen/?%F0%9F%8D%84+%F0%9F%92%A9=fqu https://emoji.supply/kitchen/?%F0%9F%8D%84+%F0%9F%92%93=fqu
Are these downloadable somewhere? Would like to add some of them to Slack / other apps. Edit: Apparently "Emoji Kitchen" is a thing made for a Google keyboard, and this web page is just a frontend to show those.

They add new ones fairly regularly though!

These are amazing! I just hope Google won't pull the plug on this viewer since the images are hosted on gstatic.com.
