| That said, this is cute. I wonder if this uses the same approach

| What prompts?

| Confirmations to click OK and go see the rest of their site.

| I think it's okay to plug your other projects and ask for

| links in the page, and users will click them if they want to.

| The ROI calculations on this feature must have been interesting.

| The attention to detail is some cases is impressive. E.g. in the
| regular owl emoji the owl has its wings folded; but when mixed
| with a celebrating emoji, it spreads its wings. Not to mention
| mixing bat and cake.
|
| That being said, the UI can be annoying. It's hard to scroll the
| lists and the popups are distracting.

| Most likely every emoji was broken up into segments that are
| tagged for what they are + their relative importance to the
| emoji + where they should be located. When combining two
| emoji's you pick out the top weighted parts of the emoji and
| combines them in some clever way. Llama+bee becomes a yellow
| striped lama with antennae.
|
| Certain modifications are made in some cases like where
| Bread+Cat results in a cat wearing a bread "helmet" where you
| see the cat's body (which you normally don't). There are most
| likely high-level rules governing this so it doesn't have to be
| made on each single emoji combination. Most likely emoji's
| tagged [animal] combined with "Bread" uses that pattern.
| [animal]+[animal] becomes the first animal wearing the second
| animal as a costume and so on.
| philote wrote:
| Yep, and I'm guessing there are also groups of emoji that

| I hope compojis makes it into some kind of standard. Some of the

| rawling wrote:
| I've had fun finding these on the keyboard for a while - it's

| through all the others to see what you get. (The key question
| being, will it combine with City to give Giant X Destroying City,
| or just City With X For A Sun?)
|
| One that annoys me - _something_ combines with bread to give
| Giant Circular Tear And Share Bread, but I've yet to find out
| what it is. (Edit: oh my god it's monkey bread.)
