That slipped me, but I stumbled with these lovely emoticons!
They’re backwards compatible with any non-DC MUAs.
Why they’re not the first emoticons options for direct use?
Would it be possible for us to add more of those, thus customizing ours own?

well, i think people coming from other messengers and less-nerdy-people more expect the “drawn smiley”.
however, i think, they are also compatible to other MUAs as they’re also just unicode characters.
they’re shown in my thunderbird and even the console shows them.

I think especially the Unicode character emojis (kamoji) are quite popular even when they have no graphics. Even Microsoft will include a table of common kamoji into the emoji chooser of Windows 10 (⌒‿⌒)
