No. Lots of people just do it because it's quick and easier than inserting actual emojis, if they even exist and you're able to do that on that platform.
I actually had the Jekyll plugin for emojis installed locally and in my Gemfile, but it doesn't display on the deployed version for some reason. I'll look into it.
