> The Unicode Consortium has introduced a lot of new emojis since Mavericks was released. We need to add them to Mavericks!

No, we don’t. If I had infinite free time, I’d build a Linux distro that completely lacks support for emoji (and animated GIFs).

But what are you going to do when someone else uses an emoji in a way that changes the meaning of what they wrote?

You don't have to like them, but to me, using a computer that can't display emojis would be kind of like using a computer that can't display the simicolon character.

No important messages are conveyed to me that have emojis in them.
