Hold up, there's a little more too it.

On each post and reply, there is a view source option in the extras menu. This will show you the markdown used to post the emote.

Three advantages:

Includes alt-text (for screen-readers) and title (that name that shows up when you hover over it)
Doesn't waste storage space on your server and our browsers for a hundred different copies of the same image
You can save them more easily if you want to build a collection.
