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
