:::Citation needed ref to [[285]] should only be used when a citation is needed! And of course there should not be one here --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 20:09, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

::::What? No, Citation needed is a joke. Hence why we link to a joke, not to some page about actually needing a citation. The moon being made of rock gets "citation needed" as a joke about it actually being made of green cheese. This is exactly how Randal often uses it.

Megan proposes a single emoji, "U+IF93F" as the vomit modifier. How is possible, then, that in each implementation  the vomit is a different shape and location? Is it possible to create an emoji that is self-aware and reconfigures itself as needed?[[User:These Are Not The Comments You Are Looking For|These Are Not The Comments You Are Looking For]] ([[User talk:These Are Not The Comments You Are Looking For|talk]]) 15:14, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

:Yes. To cite two examples I'm familiar with: The Fitzpatrick scale skin colour modifiers (U+1F3FB through U+1F3FF) affect whatever part of the emoji (hands, faces, etc.) is considered skin; and many of the "diacritical" or "accent mark" modifiers adjust their position as needed for whatever letter they're being added to, and many of those modifiers can make tall stacks.

;Error in the description text
 
The statement "emojis...aren't typically perceived as parts of text" is clearly incorrect.  The entire purpose for which emojis were created is to express emotions in text (which can be difficult to convey in words); emojis are inherently part of text.
 
 
 
I wish I was a good enough artist to make images for the winking face vomiting. --[[User:AverseABFun|AverseABFun]] ([[User talk:AverseABFun|talk]]) 03:46, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
