Why is it not possible to put emoji in HN comments?

What additional value do emojis add, that plain text already doesn’t?

Getting open source pull requests accepted is a lot like pulling teeth

I agree emoji add ~0 meaning. But the added encouragement helps me

I got DragonFlyBSD support into Zig this week. The emoji tell me that people care (Edit: thanks to them)

But HN, dunno...

Maybe aswell as points, being able to thumb-up posts could be another way to encourage people to have constructive and positive interaction?
