  • On stage at An Evening of Unnecessary Detail - aeoud.com - I tell a dramatised and extremely shortened history of emoji, run through what's coming up in 2016, and have a look at what might be coming up for them soon. Also, I use the word "dysentry".
    Thanks to the Festival of the Spoken Nerd team for inviting me, and to the lovely audience and crew at the Backyard Comedy Club in Bethnal Green! And thanks to Matt Parker for the introduction: you can see him at / standupmaths

    The demand for more emojis will drive the production of an emoji lexicon the size of other human languages. The combinatorial power of the skin tone modifier can be applied to any combination of unicode symbols, and reminds me of how radicals work in chinese and japanese -- you combine them into a single character that takes on a new meaning; this, I imagine, will possibly be how this new emoji language evolves and is coded. Picture this: if you have an "emoji modifier" unicode symbol that is added to the unicode symbol for any japanese kanji, you suddenly have a placeholder for >75,000 new emoji, and only needed to create one new unicode symbol.

    The Emoji Consortium, well here's a thing I never thought would end up existing.
    And just like Matt pointed out, that mental editing break was hilarious, although I was surprised when he said he didn't even notice doing it xD

    I've done standard working in my lifetime. One of the best was defining in a technical dictionary what billion means. I'm squarely in the 10^12 group because that's how we do it in Finland, but when it came to an international technical standard where it was only used as figure of magnitude I was ready to say that 10^9 is good.
