Well right now it's about two percent of unicode, right?

And people use them as text, so there's a reason to add them and not much reason to refuse them.

You might be right, but where are you getting the 2% from? Are you thinking of just emoticons, emojis, playing card symbols, and snowmen? There's more than that I'd question.

I looked up how many emoji there were, added some for wingdings, and rounded up a bit.

What else would you question? Would it be more than 1500 more, which would bump it from 2 to 3 percent?
