Wrt to emoji, I have at a number of times wanted to use other math symbols as binary methods (fx ��������).
For some symbols it is allowed, for some allowed the font does not show properly, and some are not allowed (eg ���������).
Some letters in non-latin alphabets are allowed as keyword methods (for example one can use the ��������� - Cherokee Small Letter Nah) though it does not render.
I was not able to trace down where in Pharo it is decided if something is a symbol or a letter, nor where it is decided if a character is legal or not as part of a selector.
But it would be nice if Pharo was actually unicode in a somewhat consistent manner. Unicode defines character categories which can be used as definition.
Whether it is possible to use emoji as both symbols and letters I do not know, but both seems ���useful���.
