By which I mean that if an emoji is based on a technological item, it would not be understood in  cultures unacquainted with that item. Also, strange though it may seem, there are probably cultures who do not understand the concept of a picture, or of associating a picture with an action or even, thing.

There are some cultures who do not share the same perceptions of colour  as us, and a blue thing might be confused with a red the_same_thing. (Colour blind people, or a print in monochrome)

The bit I clipped comes out of a section on writing - and printing - the Chinese and Japanese languages. Very interesting in itself.

GB, I really wish you hadn't given that link.  One needs a week to explore the lush landscape of the topic website.

Thanks, anyway for a most interesting link result.

In the course of exploring the field, I came across the quoted list. It's a bit long, and slightly off topic - a study of Q can eventually pall after reading  dozens of comments!

I haven't looked into this, but could it be locked for reasons of permissions?

If it stays in, and I'm sure most does, where does it go.
Put another way, are the particles coarse enough to lodge in a blood capillary, blocking it?
It could cause a stroke in the brain, or a heart attack in heart muscle.

Please define basic.

I feel that  "laconically" is not sufficiently related to "time", or "cautiously" to "prepared", to term it a Tom Swiftly in the classic manner.

I'm racking my brains to think of a good one, and managed this, so far:
He had examined the clock face in detail, he explained minutely. Not a good one, as "minutely" really relates to the "explained".

The farmers wife had cut off the  mouse's tail, as she detailed what happened. H'm, more of a pun....

These next are cribbed direct from the Merriam Webster website

Sometimes the puns are simple:

"Let's gather up the rope," said Tom coyly.

"Welcome to my tomb," said Tom cryptically.

"I can't find the oranges," said Tom fruitlessly.

Sometimes they require a little more thought to get:

"Don't you love sleeping outdoors," Tom said intently.

"Let's trap that sick bird," Tom said illegally.

"I lost my trousers," said Tom expansively.

And some are inspired:

"I just ran over my father," Tom said transparently.

And the all-time best Tom Swifty:

"I just dropped the toothpaste," said Tom crestfallenly.

Very old joke, and very predictable. Like all jokes "It's the way you tell 'em."

BTW, the DT TV critic says that they recreated the dyes used in the Bayeux Tapestry, and they are amazing. Going to watch that tonight, and miss Midsomer Murders, our usual fare. Then again, we won't miss it - work that out!

Discovery!

Alfred, I don't disagree with you.

During  WW2,  "double-summertime", two hours adrift, was implemented in the summer, for a period. Then, one hour ("summertime") adrift in the winter led to very dark mornings.

It also meant getting up for work was in the quite early morning, most disagreeable.

William, I looked at your "poem in an ellipse" in a link you posted, and thought that the words, in your glyphs, might look nice in a circle like a clock face, or a decorated dinner plate.

I had to process each glyph individually, so I selected just the first few, and made the design I append. A bit naïf as a design, but merely to illustrate my point.
