Emoji are already used in the "west".  Hundreds of Ultimate Bulletin 
Board sites do it without violating Interent standards too.

For example, check any of the forums on:
http://www.acmecity.com/explore/area/acmecity/boards.html

The user enters "UBB Code" such as :mad: which resolves to an angry 
face.  They can also "create" new emoji by inserting plain old image 
tags, and image libraries exist for linking.

Cheers,
Joe
