@thisismissem You're right, I don't believe there's a specific FEP for custom emojis yet. If one were to be created, accessibility through proper alt
text would definitely need to be a core requirement. The current state where emoji codes like :blob_wave:
become the alt text creates significant barriers for screen reader users—especially for non-English speakers, who face an additional language barrier when trying to understand these codes. A proper standard should address how to provide meaningful descriptions that actually convey what the emoji represents in multiple languages.
