History
On 11 July 2020, in ma pona pi toki pona, kala pona Tonyu posted the message "aaaa", and palisa jelo Natan tried to react to it with "'a a (a)' anu seme?". The emojis used (.svg){kind=small}
🅰️ 🇦 🇳 🇺 🇸 🇪 🇲 📧 🀄.[1][2]) were slightly garbled due to emoji reactions disallowing repeat characters, leading to the second E using the email emoji,[a] and possibly eliding a third repetition of a.[but why the mahjong tile?] They were reread as "(a A) ANU SEM[E] email mahjong", run together due to the usual lack of whitespace characters in emoji reactions.
Witnesses to the message joking defined aAANUSEMEmailMahjong as a question particle[3] or "to react to someone's message with" these emojis.[better source needed…] This joke definition appeared in the exhaustive nimi ale dictionary.[4]
aAANUSEMEmailMahjong has occasionally been used like this as a joke.[b] This is not widely understood; for example, as of May 2024, Linku has no entry for it.
Notes
- ↑ Displayed as an envelope with the letter E
- ↑ sitelen seli kiwen includes a sitelen pona glyph (aAANUSEMEmailMahjong) made by mashing together the glyphs for a (a), anu (anu), and seme (seme), and the email and mahjong-tile-red-dragon emoji (visually including E and 中. It is unlikely that this glyph gets significant use.
