I'm not sure I've ever intentionally used an emoji. Some software automatically replaces emoticons with emojis, and I know I've been bit by that when moving fast. But intentionally? I don't think so.
THIS, OTOH, I am here for :BreakDancingWombatWearingChapsAndClownShoes

I had to write instructions in MS Word referencing a file on a
drive. People would ask me why I thought that was so funny.

@ChanceyFleet @codrut With Mastodon supporting custom emoji, the challenge is now for some daring pixel artist to create emoji for these things so we can add them to our list!

@ChanceyFleet Haha I use :blobcatheart: (blob cat heart; I used zero-width spaces both to separate words and to stop it from converting that to the actual emoji, hopefully that made it readable) in chat software that doesn't have custom emoji all the time, and we're sighted! Just typing the emoji code.

@ChanceyFleet Nice! I was in a friendgroup clustered around a forum were the php bbcode for a sad cheerleader smiley was :nopompom:. At some point we started using that when just speaking to each other.
"Oh, that is really no pom-pom."

@ChanceyFleet I'm not blind, and I think this is a wonderful idea! : underpants_on_the_outside :
Absolutely. I frequently have no idea what an emoji is supposed to be.
