Comment (by nacin):

 So, yeah, this is because there's no good translation for `:)` into emoji
 — specifically, a smile with a closed mouth.

 This is also why Slack calls this particular `:)` a `:simple_smile:` —
 it's their own invention.

 I don't think we can or should do anything here. If you use actual emoji
 characters, you won't even have the opportunity to insert the :) smiley.
