Naturally I had to search for every emoji available on my iPhone’s keyboard. I can’t say it adds much, unless you’re looking for fellow users of obscure emoji. You can search for extended emoji chains — and, surprisingly, you’ll almost always find something, if my searches are any indication. I randomly slid my finger over the keyboard and found a few gems.

I can also attest that you’ll find a lot of spam tweets this way. For some reason, a specific breed of spam tweet uses a lot of emoji, no matter how obscure or unrelated to the subject matter.
