Will an emoji/emoticon be counted as a word?

Whether OneSky count an emoji/ emoticon as a word depends on the context of it.

Emoji and Emoticon

Single unicode characters as one word
Combined punctuations as emoticons
- As there are combinations not as standardized as unicode block standards, they may be counted according to the components they have, here are some examples:
  - : - ) has no word as punctuations include no word count
  - =P counted as one word as the letter P is counted as one word
  - < 3 counted as one word as the number 3 is counted as one word
