Kaomoji render correctly across all platforms, whereas emojis looks different across different vendors.

There's even been proper academic research done confirming the discrepancy.

From a techical perspective I'm still annoyed that the amorphous blobs were not the agreed default. They are the simplest to store in SVG, have no gradients to render, and being non-human makes them not require skin/gender modifiers. All expression, nothing more.
