I'm talking IRC here, which never did, or will (most likely), support graphical emoticons.
I'll just leave this here:

Emoji
Fakemoji™ tags, actually:

Do you really have to leave a blank like after a quote?
That's idiotic beyond insanity.

Again, client-specific, not IRC itself. You cannot rely on everyone talking to you to use the same client.

Of course it's client specific. It's the client that renders the stuff anyway, so text or graphics is a client-side thing anyway.
If that's not what you meant, don't understand what you mean with:
@Onyx said:But I'm talking IRC here, which never did, or will (most likely), support graphical emoticons.
How would IRC be able to hypothetically support graphical emoticons?

I weep for the <s>ute</s> youth of today. :facepalm: --- Hmm, no :today: (frankly don't know what that would look like)... But we do have :tokyo_tower: EDIT: fine, fine, "youth", you uncultured :pig:

How would IRC be able to hypothetically support graphical emoticons?
As I said, it doesn't and I don't expect it to. Some clients can replace basic emoticons such as :) or ;-) as graphical emoticons. I'm fine with that. Whether you click an icon or type in :) I'm gonna see it as something sensible. Maybe it will be a graphical smiley as well on my side, but in any case I'll be able to understand the meaning.
Before we got emoji, the only chat protocol that really supported graphical emoticons (to my knowledge) was MSN. Sure, the basic set was just a standardized set of character codes that got rendered as graphics in clients. But MSN allowed for custom emoticons that would get pushed to the other person if he was missing that particular emoticon. I could have :custom_code: showing up as a purple dildo, and whoever I was talking to would see the same purple dildo I did. This is something IRC doesn't have, and, as I said, probably never will.

Thanks for the explanation. I forgot about that.
The fact that I used CenterIM as my MSN client, didn't help remembering that either ;)I didn't think past "client does the equivalent of
s/:)/smiley.png/
on incoming text before rendering" and didn't see how that would constitute prototol support for graphical emoticons.

I wish I had :Wtf: in Communicator.

I use in its place, but that's not quite the same.

Dude it is 2015 already ... Lync
The company as a whole is just now moving to Office 2010 (although I've had it for a whole 18 months) except for Communicator and Sharepoint which stay at 2007 for now.
We don't exactly roll with 'current' versions.

That's not simply not rolling. That counts hardly as fighting against gravity to stay upright.
Office I actually get. No deal breakers there but going from SharePoint 2007 to 2013 is like going from windows 98 to 7.
-
All of these things are a different team, and way out of my control.
IIRC the Sharepoint guys have been pushing for 2013 since it came out.
-
I don't blame you ... It's just how companies role ...

When I try to submit changes to the VCS repository using Ctrl+Enter; that does not close the editor in which I'm writing the commit message.

When I see code and have to resist the urge to just copy/paste it into a new topic in CodeSOD.
-
Also when you see PHP code that should be in CodeSOD and have to mentally prepare for 'because PHP is TRWTF' when the code would be just as bad in any other language...
-
When a chain of 504's here makes you keep trying instead of going off to do something else.
When @accalia's spelling is rubbing off on you.

You lost me at PHP.

Be nice. You realise it would not have been any better in Haskell, right? (well, it would have been worse, they couldn't have hired me to fix anything )

ATFY
My phone suggests that ribbing or rushing or Rubin are more likely to have been @accalia'os.

Well, be that as it may, rubbering has the higher comedic value. Especially for our UK forum members, if I understand their brand of English correctly.

Oh, certainly. I was going for verisimilitude.

T-H-A-T. that.
I think even @accalia can manage it...

Google+ Hangouts uses Unicode for all its emoji, so if you're using Hangouts on an Apple mobile device, you get a completely different picture than if you're on a non-Apple device.

"It" could get spellarchecked into "in" or "is" quite easily, so is probably a worse bet than "that", actually.

Depending on the key transposition type, “or” is also entirely possible.
-
I'm not sure @accalia's @accaliaing is that predictable is it?
Well, it's predictable that it will happen just not how.

In a PM chain about our avatars, she claims to have spelt
indubitably
correctly first time.I called her bluff; she didn't counter it
-
Haha. There ain't no way @accalia spelt indubitably correctly first time.
-
indubitably....
wait....
i can spell indubitably!

I also asked who freed you this time round
what? you forgot?
that's not good. you should go to a doctor if you don't remember freeing me.

/@accalia selects indubitably from @loopback0's post, Ctrl+C, sets insertion point in post editor, Ctrl+V

You sir, are you accusing me of wrongdoing?!
You insult me!

Take you 21 minutes to make sure your objection was correctly spelt, did it?
