Šime VidasIf you drag an emoji family with a string size of 11 into an input with maxlength=10, one of the children will disappear.
Wilmhit until peace prevails@simevidas emoji family? Wtf? I thought skin colors/genders is maximum what Unicode can do.

Unicode going from static code points to a DSL is one of my least favorite modern development, not just for emoji but also Zalgo text. I do have extra distaste for emoji though because they are so tiny and I have to look them up every time for the meaning. IMHO accessibility standards should require title text in user agents.

James M.@cnx @simevidas @wilmhit I've been pushing for the ability to expand an emoji when long-pressing on it. IMO this should be a common accessibility feature of all apps that display emoji. If not long press, then something else de facto standard.
Sue@jamesmarshall @cnx @simevidas @wilmhit do you mean expand = gets bigger or shows alt text or shows individual characters?
@suethepooh @cnx @simevidas @wilmhit I mean the emoji get bigger, but showing alt text should be possible too.
@jamesmarshall @cnx @simevidas @wilmhit without my readers I can’t make out any but the most basic shapes and I hate wearing my readers
