Because sometimes the Unicode Consortium just doesn't understand the things you really need to say.

Questions
In what apps can I use LocaMoji?
LocaMoji can be used in apps that support sharing images. This includes most messaging apps such as iMessage, Google Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Line, Snapchat, etc., and most status‑based social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, Google+ etc.
Your mileage may vary.
What is an emoji sticker?
Regular inline emojis are strongly regulated by the Unicode Consortium, a group that helps to make sure that no matter what remote part of the world you’re in, when you type an A you always get an A, an @ is always an @ and a 💩 is always a 💩. Therefore it is nearly impossible to add new emojis to the character space on a whim (especially for something as niche as LocaMoji). So we’re using emoji‑style images, which are not characters typed inline.
How do I get my LocaMoji into the app?
