# [Deprecated] accessible-emoji
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.
### Succeed
```jsx
<span role="img" aria-label="Snowman">&#9731;</span>
<span role="img" aria-label="Panda">🐼</span>
<span role="img" aria-labelledby="panda1">🐼</span>
```
### Fail
```jsx
<span>🐼</span>
<i role="img" aria-label="Panda">🐼</i>
```
