Carlos SolísI wonder if there's a technical reason why <a href="https://hub.azkware.net/search?tag=ClosedCaptions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClosedCaptions</span></a> steer away from both onomatopoeia and emoji usage. Especially puzzling since 1. English has adopted majy onomatopoeic verbs (booming, screeching, whooshing, etc) and 2. emoji characters are now widely supported. <a href="https://hub.azkware.net/search?tag=A11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>A11y</span></a>
