Idea : Emoji Features in Steemit comments/reply box

Emojis are small image or icons example, happy, wink, sad, etc are used to express an idea or emotion in electronic communication. Using Emotions or Emoji are the best way to draft the messages, whether in SMS, Whats app, or in any chat tabs. They gave a personal touch to the messages.

Even in steemit mobile app (esteem) we able to use different emojis to draft the messages. Refer below example

While clicking on the mobile keypad, we get alphabets option , the numeric keypad and also we have different emotion i.e emoji button. We can use them effectively while replying to the posts.

There are different sets of emoji, it is use to describe someone mood, we can have variety as well which are shown in below. Drinks, pranks, vehicle etc. The user can use any of them while replying or commenting on any posts by clicking on the emoji option available

However, in steemit webiste, we do not have any emoji option or features available while drafting the message or replying to any posts. We only get a blank box,where we only write the alphabets or numbers using the keypad of the desktop or laptop.

Refer below screenshot.

While replying to any comments we only get the blank box with no other option. We can type the messages on the box however we do not have any option of emoji to express or pokes on the posts

A person who is quite good in emoji shortcuts can use the shortcut keys for drafting messages, however we do not have any option for other user, also it is hard to remeber all the shortcuts as there are multiple of emojis available.

I would suggest Steemit team to add the emojis option in the reply boxes on any posts. so that the user can use them as per the choice to comment or to pokes. Kind of pictorial images expressions

Thanks
