Accessibility and etiquette
For accessibility, do not use 🐍 as the only way to communicate essential information. Screen readers may announce the emoji name, and long repeated emoji strings can become tiring to listen to. In professional, educational or public content, write the main message in text and use the emoji as a supporting cue.
For etiquette, consider the audience and channel. A casual chat can use more emojis, while legal, medical, financial or workplace communication usually benefits from fewer emojis and clearer words. The emoji copy guide has more examples for choosing emoji tone and length.
