Are Emojis Accessible?
When I do accessibility checks for emails in which I include emojis, those emojis are never flagged as being an issue. Like, it doesn't prompt me to include alt-text or anything. So are emojis accessible?
Thinking about alt text by way of Dungeons and Dragons

Alt Text in Microsoft Outlook
Alternative text descriptions, often abbreviated as “alt text”, describe the content or purpose of an image so that users with visual disabilities can still understand the purpose of the image. Alt text can be very simple or quite complex, depending on the image and how it is being used.
Alt Text in Microsoft PowerPoint
Alternative text descriptions, often abbreviated as “alt text”, describe the content or purpose of an image so that users with visual disabilities can still understand the purpose of the image. Alt text can be very simple or quite complex, depending on the image and how it is being used.
Canva (and others) and Accessibility
Canva and similar online document creation tools produce inaccessible PDF files. While they can still be useful for creating smaller single-page graphics to be used in email marketing or print-only flyers, they are not recommended for more complex multi-page PDF documents being distributed electronically. I recommend using Word and its accessibility features (or, if you have the knowledge, Adobe InDesign) to create documents being distributed electronically.
