Why isn there a feature that allows users with slow connections to use visual emoticons in place of a high bandwidth video feed?

A. Visual emoticons are not used because there are very few universal emoticons available. The typical hand signal for “OK” can imply “money” in some countries, while an image of folding one’s arms can be interpreted in different ways throughout the world. Emoticons have not been implemented due to the risk of misinterpretation on the part of users.
