Comment (by afercia):

 In [changeset:"45726" 45726]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="45726"
 Accessibility: Improve the way emojis are announced by screen readers.

 Adds an ARIA `role="img"` to the emojis markup in the front end. While the
 ARIA role is technically redundant, it helps Safari and VoiceOver to
 properly announce the emojis as "image". Without the role, they announce a
 generic "group" role.
 Tested with Safari 12.1.1 / VoiceOver 9.

 Props pento.
 See #37486.
