jsx-a11y/accessible-emoji

❌ This rule is deprecated.

Emoji have become a common way of communicating content to the end user. To a person using a screenreader, however, they may not be aware that this content is there at all. By wrapping the emoji in a <span>, giving it the role="img", and providing a useful description in aria-label, the screenreader will treat the emoji as an image in the accessibility tree with an accessible name for the end user.
