In my curmudgeonly way, I suggest zero is the correct value, to reflect the information content of almost all emoji use.


Counterpoint: Appending U+1F609, U+1F61C, or U+1F643 to the end of your comment would have added immense value in communicating your point because it would have lightened the otherwise harsh tone of your words :)


I almost did, but I was concerned that doing so might be flirting with dissembling, were the inherent irony not be recognized! (BTW: Is ‘!’ the original emoji?)


With that metric the length of your comment should be zero as well. Probably mine also :)
