@OsirisSaline My biggest annoyance is that emoji have risen to common use without any of the interfaces that facilitate their use doing anything to facilitate the _reading_ of them.

Seriously, why can't I long-press or cursor-hover to get a popup with a large, clearly visible version of the image and at least the corresponding Unicode name(s)? How is it that _nobody_ is implementing this or similar?

It's a usability clusterfuck.

@ElectricKeet @OsirisSaline At least some places (like Slack) have the hover-over give you the name of the image. That assumes it's named helpfully, and not something like "bobface".
Wish that /was/ more universal though, yeah.
