Emoji-Barrierefreiheit

Die Zugänglichkeit von Emoji für Menschen mit Behinderungen, einschließlich Screenreader-Beschreibungen, barrierefreier Designs und Repräsentations-Emoji.

Emoji accessibility encompasses several aspects:

**Screen readers**: When a screen reader encounters an emoji, it reads the Unicode name (e.g., "grinning face with smiling eyes" for 😄). Overusing emoji can make content tedious for screen reader users.

**Representation**: Emoji 12.0 (2019) added accessibility-themed emoji including wheelchair users, prosthetic limbs, hearing aids, guide dogs, and a person with a white cane.

**Design**: Emoji should be visually distinguishable for users with color vision deficiencies. Skin tone modifiers also serve an accessibility function by enabling representation.

Best practices include using emoji to complement (not replace) text, avoiding emoji-only messages, and testing with screen readers.
