Dear CSS-WG, The Unicode Consortium, via its liaison to us (Mark Davis, copied), would like I18N to request a new CSS property to control emoji presentation. You can see the request in [1]. The I18N WG considered this request in our teleconference of 24 March [2] and I've been actioned to follow up with your WG. We would like to encourage Mark and/or the Unicode emoji subcommittee to work actively with you on this request. Their specific request can be found at [3]. To summarize briefly, emoji characters come in two flavors. Some characters most frequently are used as "normal" (non-emoji) textual characters, but sometimes are used as emoji also. These characters have a default display of 'text'. Some characters most frequently are used as emoji characters, but occasionally are used in a plain text context. These characters have a default display of 'emoji'. Additional details and illustration can be found in the proposed update to UTR#51 [4] Unicode is requesting a property that would allow sequences of emoji characters to be styled in one of three ways: default : style characters to use each character's default display text : style characters to use their text display emoji : style characters to use their emoji display If this request should be redirected or converted e.g. to a github issue, please let me know. Please note that the I18N WG is not itself tracking this as an issue at this time.
