My apologies for the confusion for the vt100 year. I should have checked instead of assuming it was a rough contemporary of ascii.

With these clarifications, I now understand your reply better, and it is indeed accurate: emojis are too limited.

However, their frequent use in text interfaces demonstrate the need to transmit more information density that regular text can carry.

Personally, in terminals I suggest the use of sixels, since they work well enough.

Bandwidth is never an issue for local terminals: playing videos with mpv demonstrates that.
