Maybe give us a font or something.
I'm a bit nervous about emojis, and I've always found our ascii art macros charming, but you to have a good point.

I think the real hidebound thinking around the chatbox UI is because of the requirements of the Japanese language interface, since it's got to allow them to pull in the kanji in a way that the English/French/German language interfaces don't have to deal with. Namely that it has to work with the IME.
