I do not have anything riding on emojis. Do I sometimes use them? Yes. But if they went away tomorrow, my life would go on as Celine says.
So when I learned of the alembic emoji I thought it would be cool to use once or twice but in looking at the cartoon’d version of the ancient distilling tool, I was left scratching my head. I would have guessed hookah or chemistry set before still, ancient or not. Maybe they should stick with a column still.
