The case for emojis being words: a thread
ps: feel free to discuss if you want i’ll try to reply if i can
1. i have a mutual whose display name is “can i make my name an emoji” and i was really thinking abt it and there’s technically nothing wrong w it. think abt it
1/2

what is a name? a word. what’s a word? a collection of characters and when put together with other characters convey meaning (words). what’s an emoji? a character that conveys meaning so there’s nothing stopping 2/3

you from making your name an emoji in theory. the only problem i guess would be how someone would pronounce your name if it were an emoji. but it’s technically possible. i rest my case 3/3
