+Clare mentioned to me today that Google keyboard has combination emojis. Intrigued, I checked it out. Not all emojis are supported, but a lot of the facial expression ones are. Select a supported emoji, and you'll be presented with different combination results.

+
+Google calls this *Emoji Kitchen*. [Xavier Salazar](https://xsalazar.com/) created a [nice website to visualize all the combinations](https://emojikitchen.dev/).   These emojis are not part of any text encoding standard, but instead are image files. 
+
+Now it's too hard for me to keep track of all these emojis. However, if there's one series that particularly resonates with me. I would say it's the turtle. Just look how awesome he is.
