> How do you scribble "family of three: mom, father, daughter" without any emojis?
How often do people need to do that; with that level of fidelity, right down to the composition of the family? My suspicion is not often. A short sentence does this description just as good and is much less ambiguous, as in written, concise communication that is "emoji-rich" is filled with so many details (such as the composition of the family and their skintone) it's often not clear which details are important for the message and which are not. In addition because emojis are rendered differently on different devices the meaning may be lost (e.g. when apple changed the gun emoji to a watergun, many messages took on different meanings depending on if a revolver was used or a watergun)
