'couse you could just use proper markup instead of your proposal for
this... (there is no benefit in your idea, imho):
e.g. rather than "H E L L O DUM_C DUM_O DUM_W" you could as simply as
it is use "H E L L O [ C O W ]", for instance, or any other markup, as
in your proposal the often cited reason _for_ emoji is the inability
to determine PUA semantics lacking context. Now, the sequence "DUM_C
DUM_O DUM_W" could equally mean anything lacking the knowledge of the
context. And noone could enforce exclusive usage of prefixes. Or if
one oculd (e.g. Unicode) then it would be equivalent to encode the
emojis straightforward.
