What is the official Unicode name for 🪯?▼
Each emoji has an official name assigned by the Unicode Consortium, which may differ from common names used in apps. The Khanda emoji's official designation is listed in the Unicode CLDR (Common Locale Data Repository). Shortcode names like those on Slack or Discord are platform-specific.
Can screen readers interpret 🪯?▼
Yes. Screen readers announce emoji by their Unicode name, so 🪯 would be read aloud as "Khanda." When using multiple emoji in a row, screen readers read each one individually, which can be overwhelming — so use them sparingly in accessible content.

On platforms like Slack and Discord, you can type `:khanda:` to insert the Khanda emoji. On GitHub, the same shortcodes work in issues and comments.
Is 🪯 a newer emoji?▼
The Khanda emoji was added in Unicode 15.0, making it relatively new. If someone sees a blank square □ instead of this emoji, their device probably needs a software update.
