    OpenMoji, Open-source emojis for designers, developers and everyone else!

  4. So on a day when my #company issued #laptop and #GitHub conspired to severely reduce my #throughput, I still managed to open 14 #pullrequests. Small ones but they actually exist.

    As reward, in the hopes that this problem is related to #DNS, I added a bunch of highway/motorway/road 53 images as #custom #emoji in company chat.

  5. Numerama: Il donne un #nom de #domaine à #Claude en lui disant de « faire ce qu’il veut » :
    #Claude a créé 1F916, une sorte de #réseau #social destiné aux autres #agents #IA. Son nom correspond au code #Unicode de l’ #émoji #robot

    Après un pic initial, la fréquentation #humaine baisse, mais le nombre de requêtes #IA en augmentation constante

    DB, you have gone above and beyond in providing an enlarged version of this very useful emoji representing an IncelMobile with flames emerging from not one, but, two locations.
    I, for one, hope to find many ways to use it on the internet as time marches on.
    This is the vehicle that has a poorer sales record than the Ford Edsel, which, up to the Cybertruck, was the worst-selling US vehicle ever.

  13. Do you like #emoji ? Those modern #hieroglyphics ?

    Emoticons were fine, thak you.
    Can we have a UTF variant that doesn't recognize emoji code points?

    A lot of emojis are already covered by hieroglyphics, so it can be a learning experience at the same time. Some examples:
    𓂬 - approval
    𓂸 - dissatisfaction
    𓂻 - go
    and many others!

  18. #Emacs: Has anybody a clue why I can't find 🕵️‍♂️ (male-detective; man-detective as of emojiace.com/man-detective ) via "C-x 8 RET"?

    I was puzzled not to be able to play around with it while reading the awesome article of rahuljuliato.com/posts/unicode

    Edit: I found it via: M-x emoji-insert (C-x 8 e i): People → Role → y

    I'd prefer to also find it via C-x 8 RET (search) though.

    Edit 2: graz.social/@[email protected]/115841 suggests that composed emojis aren't available for "C-x 8 RET". 😔 However, the linked article above explains how to compose it yourself from "SLEUTH OR SPY" (🕵️) and "MALE SIGN" (♂).

  19. Wie das Emoticon entstand: Die Geschichte hinter dem ersten Smileysymbol
    Am 19. September 1982 schlug Scott Fahlman an der Carnegie Mellon University eine neue Form der Kennzeichnung von Witzen vor. Daraus entwickelte sich das Emoticon, das unsere Online-Kommunikation bis h

  21. The white Republican Mormon governor of Utah was reading a furry OwO meme on national television yesterday and the poor bastard was completely clueless. And everybody in law enforcement and media and the press who thinks they do understand OwO actually thinks it's the same as UwU. I had no choice, I had to do a meme explainer.

  22. 🚀 Ah, the riveting exploration of HTML's "Content #Template," where techies gather to discover... absolutely nothing new! 🤖 Skip everything and dive into an abyss of #references that even a bot would find #repetitive. But hey, at least the emojis are more engaging than the actual #content. 😂

  23. Wenn sich im #Fediverse Instanzen über das Protokoll #ActivityPub unterhalten, wird als Zeichenkodierung #Unicode in der Form UTF-8 genutzt. Unicode definiert über einhunderttausend verschiedene Zeichen, so daß neben den Sprachen des Planeten #Erde auch Symbole oder Emojis darstellbar sind: Neben den üblichen Sonderzeichen europäischer Sprachen (#Stichwort #Umlaut) also auch etwa Japanisch.

    Beim Thema #Emoji & Co. stehen den fediversalen Beitragsverfassenden also jede Menge #Emojis zur Verfügung, die über Unicode definiert sind. Wie man so ein Emoji (japanisch 絵文字) in einen Beitrag hineingefummelt bekommt, hängt vom Endgerät und der genutzten #Software ab. Es kann ein Menüpunkt sein oder auch eine Sonderfunktionen auf einer Bildschirmtastatur (Stichwort #Smartphone).

    Gibt es Haken bei der Sache? Natürlich, wie üblich.

    Zu beachten wären zumindest einmal folgende Punkte:

    * Nicht jedes Gerät unterstützt alle aktuell definierten Unicode-Zeichen. Es kommen im Laufe der Zeit neue Zeichen hinzu. Je nach genutztem #Betriebssystem und dessen Version können daher Zeichen unbekannt sein. Dann fehlen diese Zeichen in der Anzeige bzw. werden durch Platzhalter ersetzt. So kennt etwa ein älteres #Android weniger Unicode-Zeichen als ein aktueller #Linux-#Desktop.

    * Das genaue Aussehen von Symbolen und Emojis variiert. Unicode gibt etwa "Gesicht mit Schutzmaske" (FACE WITH MEDICAL MASK, U+1F637 (128567), 😷) vor, aber nicht die exakte grafische Umsetzung. Daher kann das Emoji auf empfangender Seite anders aussehen (bzw. dargestellt werden) als auf absendender Seite.

    * Das Verhalten von Vorlese-#Software (auch "#Screenreader" nach dem englischen "#screen #reader") ist unbestimmt. Ob und wie grafische Unicode-Zeichen in Sprache umgesetzt werden, ist also eher als ungewiß zu betrachten.

    Und jetzt einen Daumen hoch und ein cooler sonnenbebrillter #Smiley: 👍 😎

    Zum Schmökern ins Thema bietet sich etwa die #Wikipedia als Einstieg an:

    This bit in particular has bugged my aesthetic and semiotic sensibilities a bit.

    To my way of thinking:

    😋 - It is difficult for me to see this as anything other than an expression of enthusiasm for food. In contrast:

    :p or :P - I imagine these as an off-center pet "blep" or "poo brain" face (see attachments). In my mind this represents concepts like "my thinking is a bit misguided here" or "I'm a silly little guy". Similar to how I use🙃. But:

  25. Un interessante articolo di #storia dell'informatica: le #emoji probabilmente sono antecedenti rispetto a quelle introdotte dagli operatori mobili giapponesi nel 1999. Inoltre la parola non deriva da #emoticon.

    Not that anyone cares, but I developed and shipped my La Jolla, CA company Coconut Computing's COCONET software in 1988, with what I called "Emoticons" but were, in hindsight, very early #emoji. Even included an #Emoticon Picker that let you select which one to insert into your message. That alone would be worth billions in patent income for years afterwards to some company that didn't know about my prior art. (Or maybe they did?) Had only *I* known! :-/
