History & usage: The character depicts GLASS OF MILK. In name tokens, GLASS and MILK signal a concrete object and its usual contents, not a phonetic function; they illustrate how semantic cues shape symbol meaning in compound names. In orthography and typography, such tokens help classify symbols by intended domain and everyday reference, rather than by sound or grammatical function. 2–3 realistic use cases: in dictionaries and grammars, this emoji can mark everyday dairy imagery or dietary references; in scholarly editions and paleography, editors may note pictographic symbolism when comparing mid-to-late 20th century pictograph sets; in archival transcription and educational primers, it serves as an example of a simple, recognizable pictograph used to teach concrete nouns and everyday objects. If the block contains EXTENDED, frame this as a historical variant; here it signals a modern extended set of common pictographs. cross‑platform appearance is generally stable, and assistive technologies can announce the meaning clearly for users who rely on screen readers. Accessibility note: describe the object in alt text and provide concise meaning in captions for clarity across platforms.
