Right now I go over to the config file, not the edbrowse config file = but the one that runs my adapter, the one that pronounces each emoji that I care about. I search for the emoji by words, read the hex code, and type that into = edbrowse. I'm getting so old though I almost can't remember 5 hex digits any more. And it's awkward no matter how you slice it. You might wonder if edbrowse and my adapter, or your adapter, could = share a common file of emojis. Perhaps not. Sometimes I purposely misspell emojis, so they will be pronounced = correctly by my synthesizer. Or I use a very abbreviated phrase. Would I remember to search for the words as I misspelled them? Or do I maintain separate lists of emojis in the two config files? And then, what is the user interface? I'm entering text, enter enter enter, and I want an emoji here, do I do something like ~egreen-heart similar to the way I use ~ to enter hex or unicode, and hope it finds the green heart? Or ~eheart and when it tries to resolve that, have it put up a menu of the various = hearts, and I select green heart. If I've tried to enter 3 emojis on the line does it step through them = one at a time and resolve each one, perhaps showing me a menu each time? And what if I'm not entirely sure even what word to search for? Maybe emojis having to do with a farm, which could be a barn or a cow = or a farmer etc. Graphics systems let you scan through emojis by category. It all seems like a lot of work, and at the end of it all, I'm not sure = the resulting system is any easier or faster than what I'm doing now. Well give it some thought. 😊 Karl Dahlke --nextpart-eb-930122--
