They're not equivalent

Man we're all fucking old people here aren't we.
Well, back in 19-dickety-2, I used to wear an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.
Now, to take the ferry costs a nickel, and in those days nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. "Give me five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now, where were we?

Yeah maybe somebody can help me here. Is it π€£ or π the one that kids make fun of us for using?

:D will forever be better than its emoji counterpart
:P is appropriate a lot of times when π is not, and the latter is what slack converts it to. π Is what they should use. One looks like you're being silly, the other looks sexually desperate.
:P can also be more neutral than happy at times, which is a nuance that the emoji lacks.

We use an older version of Outlook at work and it turns :) into π but not the emoji but the Wingdings smiley which is the letter J when you use a different font. I only found out after months when somebody asked me why I put so many J's in my mails.
I don't remember asking you a god damn thing Outlook π€¨
holy crap, is that where all the Js come from?
If there's a bad decision that can be made, the Outlook development team made it. It's a real shame that the industry standard is a hot garbage fire of a program.

When i was about 10 i sent an email to my uncle that said "K cool π" with the wingding smile.
His client rendered it "K cool J" and he made fun of my "jive"
Never sent an email using multiple or nonstandard typefaces again. I guess it was a good lesson, but it's one of those hyper cringe core memories.
That's cure. You must have really liked that person :)
I guess I did J
...who thought that was a good idea
I work in a technical field. My work email changes "<3" to a heart emoji.
Pardon me, sir. I was not expressing my admiration, its just that your analyte concentration is less than the measuring range of my instrumentation.

When your phone capitalizes any word that might be something Google could make an ad dollar on somehow
Autocorrect be like: Capitalizeβs
I put autocorrect on suggestion mode. That way it still suggests words but never corrects what I type, unless I click the suggestion. Much better.

Emotions take more effort than emoji these days.
Oh for duck sake I hate it when it does that!
Image Transcription:
Black text on a white background reading:
"My phone: Changes :) to π
"Me:"
Below the text is a screengrab from the movie Pulp Fiction showing Jules Winnfield looking off to the right and saying "I don't remember asking you a god damn thing".

That's why I draw them the other way round (-:
But please... Please without nose.

Another reason why I miss my full keyboard: I could tell autocorrect to bend over, snap it's spine and fuck itself with it's own spinal cord.
I'm old. I don't understand what people are trying to tell me half the time they use emojis.
Who in tarnation is cooking an eggplant peach dish that's splashing? I saw my daughter's text messages and her boyfriend didn't even bring any of this strange dish to share when he came over. Kids these days...

I'll raise you one better: I don't know what I'm saying when I use them. I'm sure some have meanings, but I just pick whatever looks funny. I've probably caused some confusion before.

=)
I see this as an example of either how little some people making decisions in tech companies know about what people want or about how different the things I want are from the majority of people.
