I'm trying to figure out what actually a standard emote collection would be. Happy, sad, mad, etc? Or anything goes as long as someone thinks its clever, funny? I did find guidelines for making a Twitch emote. That's useful but I don't use Twitch. Still, its something to start with while making plans. (I've paraphrased to keep it simple).

I'm thinking about using my stick figure ASCII art girl/woman as emotes. I would need to make more for the different emotions or themes. That's why I'm trying to figure out what they should be. If it works out I thought I would try offering them for sale online. If it just costs my time, how can it go wrong? Or, not far wrong.

Standard Emotes

• The image must be in a .png format
• A single PNG between 112 x 112px and 4096 x 4096px, or three image sizes: 28 x 28px, 56 x 56px and 112 x 112px. For example:
• Images must be square shape (e.g., same pixel height and width)
• The file size cannot exceed 1MB
• A fully transparent background.
• Ensure you have viewed the emote at 100% resolution to check that the art has clear lines and, if you are including words, that the letters are correct and easy to read. Make sure that lines are sharp (no unnecessary blurring or feathering)

I like the idea. You could pick so many odd and unusual dingbat fonts. Something relevant to the book itself even. Then use them as text art, making book art. Not technically ASCII art because of the font, not being monospaced. Traditional Book Design Using Dingbat Fonts
