  6. Emoji spelling, along with a ton of other emoji uses, has major accessibility issues. Since we're on Twitter I can start there. I wish there were a way to add alt text to every tweet (even those without images or gifs) so you could write an accessible version of your post too.

  7. A really fun emoji research project for someone would be to study the use of 🍑 during an impeachment trail. Is anyone working on this?

  8. Thanks to for letting me go deep into the topic of emoji spelling! If you know of any interesting emoji spellings, especially in languages beyond English, I want to learn about them!

  9. You might want a word to be machine unreadable to get around government censorship. You might want to obscure certain words in a public social media profile so law inforcement doesn't come after you.

  10. One possible purpose of emoji spelling is making messages readable by humans but not by machines. Why might you want this? It can stop trolls from finding a post with a specific keyword as with Voldermorting. wrote about this for .

  11. I view emoji spelling as a very special type of rebus use that requires a digital platform. Emoji spelling's fully digital context leads to some interesting use cases you don't see with the typical rebus puzzle.

  12. I asked if what I'm calling emoji spelling could be called rebus use. He said yes: “‘Rebus’ historically has been used to cover not just puzzles to decipher but other representations of syllables, words, or phrases by pictures or symbols.”

  13. My article begins and ends with . She inspired me with her 'im🍑ment' tweet in September 2019. She made me think about how seamlessly she switches between emoji meanings and functions. She also made me think about emoji spelling vs rebus puzzles.

    In the Netherlands people will sometimes use 🐝 in response to an announcement of an upcoming event. The Dutch word for "bee" is "bij", but in this context it refers to "bij" as in "Ik ben er bij!", which loosely translates to "I'll be there".

    Fun article by about rebus-style emoji spellings like "im🍑." I'm quoted about the pre-emoji history of rebus wordplay.

  19. This emoji is going to do so much heavy lifting: ✨I was 😂 two minutes ago and now I feel more or less calm ✨They did a thing I wasn't sure if they could do but they did it and oh gosh don't look at me ✨I'm just happy YOU'RE happy (even if we can't be together) ✨🖤UGH🖤
