The house question traveled back in time, damn
I was hoping someone else noticed this. Maybe they have a time traveling house?
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, as well as more complex sentence structures than emojis, which have far more certain and unambiguous meanings.
As an example of that, try to represent my previous sentence using only emojis, and then present that string of emojis to a random person you know and ask them what it means.
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 "at sunset" hieroglyphic 🌄
(it's technically sunrise, but okay)
Or even 🕖
There is also sunset 🌅
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.

Me and my best friend had the weirdest sms chats ever. That was before emojis were even a thing. All our chats were:
? ! 8? ! ->
When I was in high school, my mate didn't even have a phone. We just knew that Friday at 7pm we met at the standard spot and went to grab a beer. We didn't even make plans before, it was just how it was.
Most of you probably already heard about it but here is "Book from the ground" a complete book written using only pictograms.

Home you?
Your house
"The house over there"
⏰❓
See: the Pantheon emoji scene, where whoever Maddie's texting will only respond to emoticons:

That's because it's a human upload of her dad struggling with its newfound consciousness... A pretty decent excuse.
(If anyone here hasn't watched Pantheon, correct that immediately).
Have you "Will Smith" slapped him yet?
Already slapped him.
Wanna some [alcoholic beverage] before your next mission?
Nah, just tell me when
1900 CE
At his house?
Yep, address already sent to the time machine
See you on the other timeline.
You too.
(The target is Hitler btw, he would've been a baby in 1900, best time for hitler assassination attempts)
emoj.li is back
