  If you exclude ‘emojis’ which are literally just picture forms of characters in existing languages:

  Technically, they’re pictoglyphs, not hieroglyphs.

  Emojis represent the literal thing they portray (pictogram), the word associated with that literal thing (logogram), and, to varying degrees to different people, represent other related concepts and associated ideas (ideogram).

  Hieroglyphs do all of that, but additionally also represent spoken syllables and alphabetic characters, and follow a concrete syntax amd grammar system that allows for a much more extensive vocabulary, and more complex sentence structures than emojis, which have far more certain and unambiguous meanings.

  Basically, hieroglyphs constitute an actual language, purely using emojis is playing pictionary as a means of communication.

    🍑🍆 <- ideograms?

      You got it!

      A pictoglyph being used to represent something associated with the actual thing being represented, falls under ideogram.

      But when your grandma sends a shopping list to you in emoji form, she probably means it as a pictogram.

      … Hopefully.

  Give it a couple millennia and they will evolve back into alphabets and syllabaries

  19:00 somewhat ruined the illusion, bringing those modern Arabic numerals into the mix.

  There’s a perfectly good sunset/sunrise emoji 🌄

    How can sunrise be substituted for sunset?

  This is needlessly complicated. All I need is a beer emoji and I would be at the guys house with a six pack in 15 minutes.
