I wonder if future archeologists will endlessly ponder the meaning of emoji similar to the way we in the current age try to understand ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. perhaps a new age Rosetta stone should be carved
- wizzwizz4 5y agoThat's the Unicode specification, isn't it? (Though I suppose that doesn't get the in-prose meanings.)
- tomc1985 5y agoWhy though? All the emoji that people actually care about depicts faces or objects with obvious body-part analogues
- konfusinomicon 5y agoancient hieroglyphics also depict common objects and expressions. their combinations carry even more meaning. the understanding of an eggplant, a thumbs up, or even a smile could be drastically different in 5000 years
