I was involved in the 99,999th and the 100,000th one in my FQA days. We were being onboarded, they were just for demo and were promptly deleted. No one cared about the Cool Numbers.

Isn't it?! There's plenty of talking about how "we're regressing to hieroglyphs", but that doesn't capture the nuance in usage of emojis in different languages. Your example expands well to old-school emoticons
