Facebook patents emoji reaction. The patent illustrates how the tool might look on the social network. Instead of Like, with the patent, Facebook users can have the option to pick a selection of emoji that best describe their reactions.
On its own, Facebook already has its own set of emoji arts. But based on the patent, Facebook can limit users to a handful of emoticons in order to avoid cluttering the post.
The feature is familiar with Path's Emotions button that has been around since 2011.
