Emojis are another abomination that should be removed from Unicode. If you want pictures, use a gif.

- _flux 8mo agoArguably them being in Unicode is an accessibility issue, unless we thought to standardize GIF names, and then that already sounds a lot like Unicode.
- WalterBright 8mo agoHow is it an accessibility issue? HTML allows things like little gif files. I've done this myself when I wrote text that contained Egyptian hieroglyphs. It works just fine!
- _flux 8mo agoI mean if you don't have sight.
- WalterBright 8mo agoThen use words. Or tooltips (HTML supports that). I use tooltips on my web pages to support accessibility for screen readers. Unicode should not be attempting to badly reinvent HTML.
