Emoticon Comparison Topic

Continuing the discussion from The Funny Stuff Thread:

Page: "Face emoticons"
Page: "Food emoticons"
Page: "Nature emoticons"
Page: "transportation emoticons"
Page: "Symbol emoticons"

I like that the images of food are on the "nature emoticons".

My favorite type of transportation:

I'm more intrigued by the idea that a hammer is 'transportation', as is a diamond engagement ring.
And the Union Flag, apparently. I guess if you had one big enough you could make a hang-glider...

And hands are faces?

Emoji is already in unicode, why do we even need to have bitmap emoticons in webpages like we're trapped in the nineties?
I'll tell you why: Fucking Google. Google and its stupid Chrome browser with it's on-again off-again unicode support, even when that shit is already provided by the os. Google and its stupid Android os with it's far-behind-the-curve font engine. Fuck Google.
