Not really. Do you really notice whether someone uses "Grinning face with smiling eyes" or just plain "Grinning face"? Or was it "Grinning face with big eyes",

Not really. Do you really notice whether someone uses "Grinning face with smiling eyes" or just plain "Grinning face"? Or was it "Grinning face with big eyes", or maybe "Beaming face with smiling eyes". Or were they "squinting" eyes? Maybe the face was just "smiling", not "grinning". Sheesh.

See for example the Matrix spec which recommends using emojis for verifying E2EE signatures. https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/latest#sas-method-emoji https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/latest#sas-method...
- jfk13 6y agoYes, a carefully selected set of 64 symbols would be much more sensible from that point of view. This project, though, apparently uses "the first 1024 emojis from [https://unicode.org/Public/emoji/13.1/emoji-test.txt https://unicode.org/Public/emoji/13.1/emoji-test.txt]", which is an entirely different matter.
