# jsx-a11y/accessible-emoji
❌ This rule is deprecated.
<!-- end auto-generated rule header -->
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.
## Rule details
This rule takes no arguments.

```
