🌳 Do emoji help in selling threads?

Childish or no, emojis draw attention and that should be one important purpose of thread titles especially in the BST where the competition is fierce in most sections. It's not a coincidence that a lot of marketers use them in social media frequently or even email marketers in subject lines. Emojis are a very simple way to stand out.

Why emojis aren't used more often? One reason is what kittykut mentioned above, that emojis caot be typed in, BHW doesn't have a selection of them when you make a post and most people caot be arsed to copy-paste them from somewhere else. On the other hand i bet, that most people don't even know, that emojis can be used here.

In the BST section plenty of sellers desperately try to grab attention with using (excessive amount) of special characters in the thread titles, when they could simply use colored emojis instead.
