I wish instead of emojis they just included a “sixel” strip codepage with one character for every combination of 1x6 pixel strip (this only needs 64 code points.) You could draw your emojis and the editor would then compose these strips to send them. People do it with Braille now but this would make the images much smaller and get rid of the space between the pixels.
