      The way it’s used, the way it’s displayed. If you take that all the way all emojis everywhere are pictures. It’s a sociological difference I think.

      Emojis remove the need to upload multiple images to the server, save you a trip to your image folder, and can easily be used inline as if they are part of a sentence. They also give instances their own flavor.
