Description

Use emojis as reaction options instead of custom CSS icons.

I think using emojis is much easier to implement, much easier to configure, much more extendable, and much more familiar for end-users.

Some examples;

  • GitHub uses emojis and it's successful:

  • Discord uses emojis: (it has custom emoji support but the default ones are regular emojis)

  • Slack uses emojis too

  • There are some examples that do not use emojis and implements their own custom reactions such as LinkedIn,

That might be a breaking change, we should map reactions from the older version to the new version if we switch reaction icons to emojis
