Where’s The Matzo Emoji Then?

Despite the best efforts of our friends in Chicago, and the folks at emojidex, there is no accepted matzo emoji. That omission is clearly a result of an anti-Semitic tech conspiracy to oppose the Festival of Liberation.
There’s a manila folder, which isn’t a bad facsimile of matzo. ?
There’s a parchment roll which looks — and tastes — like matzo. ?
If we only care about the taste of matzo we can indicate it with this: ?
Or perhaps we want to qualify matzo as a form of bread. ??
In the Haggadah it’s referred to as “bread of affliction” so maybe we should use this combination of emojis? ??
Or maybe we should define matzo through its avoidance of hametz. ??
So, until developers give us something to work with (and their track record with bagel emojis is pretty poor), let us know what we should use as a matzo emoji.
This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.

This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
