In reply to ProDarwin :

If you're using a smartphone, we're referring to those.

However, the built-in forum emojis are in the works to be modernized as well.

Right--these aren't more built-in forum thingys, this is actual support for the emoji standard that's built into your device. Computers can use them, too, though they're less common:

Good news: looks like the Search function works about the same on emoji as it does on 'normal' text

Bad news: looks like the Search function works about the same on emoji as it does on 'normal' text (e.g. if I search for πŸ”₯, why does it also include results for the text "fire"?)

Old/ esoteric geekery: at a former employer I noticed the ERP system used the NCHAR data type for a lot of fields.  So of course I had to try it, and yes indeed we could have used emoji in stuff like our part#s or inventory locations.  It might have been hilarious for about 10 sec: "Hey, can you go count the 😺πŸ–₯οΈπŸ”Œ that are supposed to be in Aisle πŸ›’ Bin πŸ’€?"

My queries would have become even more unreadable if I had known you could do stuff like "SELECT CustomerName AS πŸ¦„"

The search feature must be converting the emoji description to text, and its Unicode name is fire.
