I'd bet money there are already ~~thesises(??)~~ theses (thanks, atomicorange!) and dissertations on this.

There's def already stuff like interpreting use of emojis. For example sometimes you have text messages show up in a court case and there are people who can officially "interpret" what the emojis mean for the court.

Theses is the plural of thesis. Kinda looks stupid out of context but there you go.

Oh, I'm sure there are plenty at the moment. It will just fade over time until it enters the same realm as something like "Clay Pots of Ancient Sites Found in The London Underground".
