You can totally use emojis as passwords. You can probably even make this a policy at your company.

Edit: I thought this was an obvious enough joke, but just to clear things up: Only do this if you hate your company and everyone working there.

    You can add emojis to your wifi SSID. I do not recommend it for compatibility reasons, though. Your printer might not like it.

      In my experience, several devices don’t display the emoji as a correct icon (instead show the rectangle “tofu”), but they still work with it.

        That’s good! That’s best case scenario, honestly. With how awful printers are, I wouldn’t be surprised if some just crashed.

      That’ll make setting up your wifi from the command line all kinds of fun.
      Even my SSID with , and : in it stumps the Debian installer.

      why tf would a printer need internet access, ever?

          just plug the printer into your router or something like raspberry pi (or a pc that’s running constantly) with a usb cable if you need that

        It is very useful for your printer to have LAN access so you can print jobs wirelessly from your laptop.

        But printer was just an example of a low-tech device. It could have easily been your Nintendo 3DS that might implode if your SSID had an emoji in it.
