Emoji: It's like Kanji, only without agreed upon semantic meaning or pronunciation. I pity historians of the future who have to try and decipher this garbage.
My wife and I call each other "donkey", and some years ago we used the horse emoji, which was low resolution enough to look as a donkey if you squinted. But modern emojis are too high resolution and it definitely looks like a horse now. So I feel your pain.
