Comment (by jorbin):

 @helen While the ticket was certainly inspired by the emoji experience
 introduced at WWDC, I wouldn't call it a joke. I think there are very
 serious opportunities for enhancement to the post creation process as
 others have pointed out.

 There seems to be three experiences that I've seen so far.

 1) The colon experience.  This is what slack and others do.  It may make
 the most sense and fit in with the other formatting shortcuts already in
 core.

 2) The highlight and replace experience which is what apple is adding to
 messages.

 3) The pure native experience.  This is what WordPress does now, by
 essentially relying on emoji pickers in operating systems. I agree with
 others that emoji pickers are best left up to operating systems and we
 shouldn't spend time duplicating efforts here.

 Has anyone else seen experiences worth considering?

 @azaozz @iseulde Do either of you know of anything in the pipeline for
 tinymce here?
