Emoji Chat

I know that free chat projects are banned on Scratch. In an upcoming multiplayer game, I would like the players to be able to use predetermined emojis to chat, such as smiley face, SOS, or clapping. The text engine would contain only emoji symbols and no letters, to avoid being tricked by disrespectful hackers. Can I do this?

Many projects of many sizes have predetermined chats, so I believe you'll have no problem at all.

For the love of everything, please snip quotes down to only the part you're responding to, it's painful to read excessively nested quotes.

I have a pretty “3D” project

It's probably fine, but joining emojis together could get iffy - if even one Scratcher makes something inappropriate, then it's not them that gets in trouble, it's the creator of the project - so be careful.

As long as users can only select pre-determined emojis, it should be fine.

If it’s only a selected amount of emojis, then the project should be fine.
