if i ever make a videogame i'm going to make it so the dialogue system can parse any form of text or unicode so I can have a character actually speak in emoji or shift-JIS emoticons and whatnot, and maybe also include text effects, but JUST for them, and have NOBODY bat an eyelid to it except ONE character (possibly the player) able to respond with "...h..how did you do that with your mouth?"
"do what? 🤔"
