What are the practical uses of emoji in code?

There isn't any practical use and nobody ever claimed there was. Being able to use them at all is just a random function of your compiler supporting modern character sets

A side effect of using utf8.

It would be cool if you could use them or other non-ASCII characters for roguelikes in your terminal.
However, turns out terminals and font rendering in general are retarded and monospace characters mostly work for latin character.

They work perfectly fine in correctly implemented terminals like Terminal.app

They aren't monospaced, though.

>>59238397
Yes they are, emojis just take up the space of 2 characters

More like duospaced, then.
And while I heard of approaches to use two characters per tile in roguelikes - and even more, for faking 3D - that's not what I'd usually want.

Brains think in images, so if you're stupid then it'll help you remember what you're doing

>I have no idea what monospacing is
Dual width monospace characters are still monospaced retard

Emojicode actually has some very practical applications, for instance if youre a sysadmins admin you can use your emoji code for production and keep the real code on a thumbdrive in your pocket. So if you're ever fired your replacement wont ever know what the fuck your scripts do, and you can retaliate against your employer who dicked you over.
