If that was my point, it would be a great answer.
However my point is not against the usage of emojis to convey linguistic meaning, like that. (It's a bit pointless, but at least you're saying something through the emojis.)
Well of the three usages:
graphical echo ("I saw a cat today ๐ฑ")
mood/attitude particles (โI wish I were just a cat ๐โ)
ideographic usage ("I saw a ๐ฑ today")
The echo is almost certainly the least useful.
When overused gratuitously, it can be funny (NSFW examples included)!
That overuse feels a lot like a fourth category. It's almost meta-, as if using emojis to parody emoji usage!
I'm not sure if it's usage for echo or as mood particles makes me roll my eyes the most. Perhaps echo, too.
More like "ability to remember vocab from uni times" (My second grad included Linguistics, although I don't work on the field nowadays.)
Are you a linguist? Fabulous descriptive capabilities you have there.
