It turns out that emoticons are considered a symbol, so they can beef up your passwords and make them more secure in combination with letters and numbers. Here’s how.
Emojis are standardized. They may look different in different devices, but the code of a “raised hands” emoji will always be the same, just like the code for A is always the same.

Removing old ones could be a problem, though.
What if I am using a device that doesn’t support emojis? wouldn’t I need to learn the code for each emoji I have used in a password?
Yes
But how many modern devices don’t somehow support emojis though?
And how many of those you need to enter a password in?
Just like a gun is standardized to a water gun for some and a real gun for others?
Edit: I get your point, ita just if you memorize your password with emoji icons different icons would screw up your tries to log in
If you search for “gun” in your device when selecting an emoji, just pick whatever comes up. Done.
