I feel that adding more features such as this would harm the minimalist intentions of this keyboard. With each feature that we add it becomes harder to figure out how to use the keyboard. adding one Emoji may be a slippery slope that leads to more unnecessary features like 🅰 and 🇦 and then before you know it we will be including more characters than Swiftkey. All the keyboards I can find that have emoji have giant menus to pick them which is extremely confusing.
Besides how do we know the user even knows or cares what an Emoji is. For most of time most people never used emojis it is only since the 20th century that people seem to think they are necessary. People come to us looking for something simple not something that contains every feature.
