G'day 👁️🍾👍🦟,
++ More emoji fun!
It's after 4am here, so just a few comments for now (then sleepy-time).
I may spend a bit more time on this later in the weekend.
-
The obvious absence from the table is your own: 👁️🍾👍🦟
-
I wasn't a huge fan of this, but you said "I really like it",
so for kcott: 👌🏻🛏️🫖
-
For merlyn, I would have picked: 🧙🏼 U+1F9D9 MAGE
(using 🏼 U+1F3FC EMOJI MODIFIER FITZPATRICK TYPE-3
skin tone matched against his picture on his home node).
Segoe UI Emoji on Win10 and Win11
We had various discussions about this in "Larger profile pic than 80KB?" and "Perl Secret Operator Emojis".
I've added the following CSS to the top of On-Site CSS Markup: in Display Settings:
body * {
font-family: "Verdana", "Twemoji Mozilla", sans-serif;
}
pre, tt, textarea {
font-family: "Consolas", "Twemoji Mozilla", monospace;
}
I suspect this will only work with Firefox.
It has the following effects:
-
Where there are no emoji characters, the page renders exactly as before (as far as I can tell through visual inspection).
It's possible it may need a few tweaks;
for example, before starting to compose this reply, I didn't realise I needed to include textarea.
-
The newer ZWJ sequences, such as in "Re: Perl Secret Operator Emojis", now appear as a single glyph.
-
Flag emoji glyphs continue to render as a flag;
not the two separate REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL LETTER [A-Z] you reported seeing.
-
Emoji from Unicode 15.0 still render as a codepoint in a box, as in "Re^6: Larger profile pic than 80KB?".
That affected U+01FADA GINGER ROOT there;
your U+01FABC JELLYFISH in the table in your OP is similarly affected.
See Unicode PDF code chart
"Symbols and Pictographs Extended-A (Range: 1FA70-1FAFF)"
which has 15.0 emoji highlighted in yellow.
-
As Segoe UI Emoji and Twemoji Mozilla are different fonts,
there will obviously be differences between individual glyphs (some minor, some major);
you may not like it for this reason (a matter of personal choice).

Nice.
For the letter T, an alternative to U+2615 HOT BEVERAGE is U+1FAD6 TEAPOT,
as used by kcott here (which I liked a lot more than he did :-).
Update: kcott's inventive emoji (which I like) is: 👌🏻🛏️🫖

We used to keep chickens in the garden...perhaps there is a common theme between Perl and chickens...or maybe not, as Joolz, my partner, had the chickens before we met. We'd probably still have them if she hadn't left the coop door open the night Mr Fox came visiting...

I imagine you rank behind Joolz in your household's pecking order
... and that Joolz was out on that fateful night, attending a hen party.
Bod, you're no spring chicken, but why didn't you chase the fox away? ...
would have been a feather in your cap ... were you outfoxed or too chicken?

Didn't even know fletch was a word! ...
apparently with three meanings:
- noun (archery). The vane toward the back of an arrow, used to stabilise the arrow during flight.
- noun (fisheries). A large boneless fillet of halibut, swordfish, or tuna.
- verb. To feather, as an arrow.
So, I'd say any emoji containing an arrow, a feather, or even a fish, might work.
Couldn't find any halibut, swordfish, tuna or fillet of fish emojis, which leaves:
- U+1F3F9 BOW AND ARROW : 🏹
- U+1FAB6 FEATHER : 🪶
- U+1F41F FISH : 🐟
I'll leave the final decision up to you. :)

Re: Emojis for Perl Monk names (Discipulus and SpaceCowboy)

A couple of suggestions mysteriously appeared in my Chatterbox ...
thought I better post them as a reply, with variations, so they won't get lost. :)
Discipulus
For the inimitable Discipulus:
| Emoji | Notes |
|---|
| 💿➕ | Optical disc and plus sign (suggested by LanX I'm told) |
| 💿ⅈ➕ | ... I tried an imaginary number i joiner |
| 📀ⅈ⁺ | ... and an alternative rendering |
| 👨🏽🎓🏛️ | Discipulus likes this one (man student and classical building) |
SpaceCowboy
After stumbling on an old node by SpaceCowboy it looked like a fun one to emojify:
| Emoji | Notes |
|---|
| 🌌🐄👦 | Simple version |
| 🚀👨🚀🤠 | Alternative version |
Improvements welcome.

> suggested by LanX I'm told
Yes, I did that sometimes in the CB. :)
I think while trying to develop a new hieroglyphic system, it's worth pointing to the History_of_the_alphabet :)
Semitic people in the Levant used a subset of old Egyptian hieroglyphs to represent consonants and the Phoenician traders spread these alphabets over the known world, where they've been changed to fit local phonetics.

| Bod | 💪🦵 | The Bod has a muscular physique |
That's a good example of how names and generally also words and phrases were and still are created in German Sign Language (DGS).
German, both as noun and as adjective, is signed by moving your fist with extended index finger in front and above of your forehead, as if the speaker was wearing a very typical prussian helmet, the Pickelhaube.
(Actually, that's the only word I know in DGS.)
The Hamburg University has a DGS dictionary, from there,
you can find word 83 "Deutsch", including a short video clip. (It's no accient or random coincidence that you find the DGS dictionary here. The Hamburg University has started research on the DGS and played a big role in getting it accepted as a fully-featured language equivalent to written and spoken German. It hosts the IDGS, the institute for German Sign Language] researching and educating DGS.)
Stock exchanges use their own sign language(s). Using a finger as a moustache shall remind of Adolf Hitler's typical toothbrush moustache,
and is the sign for the Deutsche Bank. Not very polite, not politically correct, but a distinct sign.
(Again, the only sign that I know.)
A few more signs can be found at https://www.sueddeutsche.de/geld/zeichensprache-an-der-boerse-die-geste-zaehlt-1.973935.

"... which forced me to think outside the box, be creative, to have any chance of concocting a plausible emoji for a typical Perl Monk name ..."
Thinking outside the box, and given Unicode's plethora of symbols,
it occurred to me that symbolic representations of monk's names could be achieved without emoji.
Although not as colourful perhaps, I think they could be just as clever.
Consider this for Corion:
ͨ∨⚛︎⁺
$ uparse ͨ∨⚛︎⁺
============================================================
String: 'ͨ∨⚛︎⁺'
============================================================
U+368 COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER C
∨ U+2228 LOGICAL OR
⚛ U+269B ATOM SYMBOL
U+FE0E VARIATION SELECTOR-15
⁺ U+207A SUPERSCRIPT PLUS SIGN
------------------------------------------------------------
[Note 1:
For those unfamiliar with the uparse command, see "uparse - Parse Unicode strings".]
[Note 2:
U+269B ATOM SYMBOL does not have the Emoji Presentation property.
It should, by default, be rendered in its text form.
Either my browser or font are not honouring this.
I added U+FE0E VARIATION SELECTOR-15 to force text rendering.]

"... well, I think it's an improvement, what do you think?"
In the sense of '$A++ is a deformation of "A plus" ...' (from Re: Perl Secret Operator Emojis ($A++)) $A++ works for me.
When representing an increment operation, I'd prefer the more usual $A++.
