Now? Emoji were animated even before they were added to Unicode https://emojipedia.org/softbank/2006/



Animoji is very different from using an animated gif in place of an emoji.


I didn't take it the GP was talking about Animoji, as those are motion-captured, rendered in 3D and sent as pre-rendered video files (GP mentioned something that could be represented as animated SVG). I don't think anyone is proposing a way to encode facial motion-capture into Unicode.
