Emotiscription is a portmanteau of "Emoticon" or "Emoji", and "Description". Used much like an "Inclusivity Note" to better include those who may not be able to see or otherwise recognize the symbol. As well as for those using accessibility technology that may not yet recognize Emoji's, Emoticons, or other symbols denoting emotion. This is to better include the Blind Community who may not see or hear them, Neurodivergents who might interpret them differently, or international communities were one cultures expression may mean something else in another's. It should be emphasized that Emotiscription are not exclusively for social media and text, but may include any note used to include those who might otherwise not recognize an emotion, experience, gesture, or other symbols bearing the purposes Emojis do. Both for casual and formal use of Emotiscription should properly include the description at the end in brackets, not parentheses. As parentheses can signify that written speech within should be omitted when read aloud, while brackets typically signify addition to the original quote.
