### Why is this important?
Emoticons include ASCII characters that form facial expressions and other ways to communicate an emotion to the user.
Though they are very popular, they can be confusing for people who use assistive technology.
Providing a text alternative makes the information accessible through audio or other channels.

### What to do
* When possible, use a word like "smile" instead of an emoticon
* **Or**, if this element is an emoticon, verify there is a text alternative
