Neat. I made a Telegram bot so that all users get access to these emojis: @emojimixingbot It works only in inline mode
Neat. A bit tangental but I'm curious, where do you host it? Is there a gold standard for these bots, like everyone writes them in Node and hosts them on DO kind of trend?

Edit: Never mind, I figured out that inline mode means invoking the bot in any chat by typing @emojimixingbot and then typing two emojis. The mixed emoji then appears as a sticker that can be sent. The bot does not respond to emojis sent to it directly (in the chat with the bot). Previous question (now irrelevant with my answer above): What’s inline mode, and how exactly would one use this bot?
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?

Creating pictographs of ideas isn't easy.

And if I might add: why do we need multiple colors for a heart or multiple hearts? One wasn't enough? Are we going to cover all the drinks know by mankind or one generic "alcoholic" drink was okay? What about flowers? Do we need to cover them all or a generic "flower" pictogram is enough?
Edit: unfortunately there is no support for emojis on HN. Just imagine a red, a golden, and a green heart there.

I guess an emoji could be proposed for grief, that is a tricky question in itself. There is a system to go through to add new emojis, it does seem to be very hard work now. https://unicode.org/emoji/proposals.html I was going to say something as intense as grief is too much for emojis, but it would mark the maturing of the glyphs.

Looking at the Emoji list (in general, not from the link above) I can see plenty of emojis displaying concern, sadness, grief and other "negative" emotions.
No jealousy or loneliness

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.
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...
Conditions for buying one for $30 are here:
