153 messages are the Thumbs up iMessage reaction (called the “Like” internally), 36 are the Ha ha reaction (“Laugh”), 17 are the question mark reaction, 81 are the thumbs down (dislike), and 14 are the exclamation mark (“Emphasize”). And 484 are just emoji (or non-text unicode characters). Also, 13495 entries are blank (out of about 29731).
