#inclusion #accesibility: List of emoticons: Unicode characters – Wikipedia #a11y

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/02/11

A lot of forum software (not just on retro computing or history) embed image smileys in their messages translated from text-smileys.

It seems they missed that a lot of them have made their way into Unicode, making it not just easier to display but also a lot easier for visually impaired.

So, please software developers, use the Unicode characters whenever possible.

Here is a good start
