Really ?

This seems related to : https://dev.tiki.org/item6191 and https://dev.tiki.org/item6189

I looked into the issue not so long ago. Almost all browsers now support emoji. Desktop and mobile. If we enable the saving of emoji in our database, they will all show nicely, and will always be kept up to date with the OS/Browser.

A little emoji selector could be made for users who dont have a emoji keyboard set up, and the existing similes used here could be integrated.

Although, it might be easier to replace the emoticons with new ones in the mean time.

Solution
Tiki19 use Emoji so it is not necessary to use the Tiki smileys anymore.
Workaround
I did an attempt changing only the pictures but it raised many concerns and I reverted. The actual best is to fully support emoji.
