So, what I mean by define is to determine or identify the essential qualities or meaning of. Not describe what is shown. Example: the list that was given defines an emoji with heart eyes as such, but the emotional definition would be in love or something similar.
I'm aware of no such description for all, and the partial lists that some have posted are woefully incomplete or outdated.
You can certainly create an app that presents your own perceptions of "the essential qualifies or meaning of" the myriad emoji too of course, but there'll exist errors and exclusions and differing perceptions.
And emoji usage will shift.
An English instructor of my acquaintance once told me that English was fixed and forever unchanging. In that single (and utterly wrong) statement, I learned far more about educators and advanced degrees than that instructor had likely intended, or probably even ever realized. 😳
Alas, “The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.”, as some rando once wrote. 🤭
PS: I trust a generative text tool to be correct right up into it is not. These errors from generative tools are sometimes called "hallucinations", as another salient example of how language shifts. Sometimes rapidly.
