It's also as they say universal, everyone has the same bitch of a time trying to read and type emoji's rather than having certain people to have to change the language of their keyboard and know some basic English.
Everyone suffers equally! in a way it's sort of beautiful.

Because why not? It's not like it's the first esoteric programming language.

A legitimate use case would be to reduce abstract concepts like a for loop into a symbol which universally represents a for loop.
Kind of like how we have symbols for radioactive waste and such.
For instance, read this I have a fairly good understanding of what is going on here without even read what the symbols are supposed to mean.
💠is obviously a comment.
I believe 🌜🌛 indicates a container probably an array, list, or some datastructure.
🔃🚩 is the equivalent of saying while(flag){}
Would I use it? probably not. But if I were to want to program on an IOS or Android device, an emoji language might be more practical.
