I drew these because general icon sets have folders and arrows and nothing for the things people actually say about each other. There is no symbol for being ghosted — the ghost emoji means Halloween — and the emoji keyboard doesn't cover situationship, the ick, or "could've been an email" either.
111 icons, all drawn, on a 24 grid as a single currentColor path each. SVG, sprite, React components, a web component, Slack/Discord emoji and iMessage/WhatsApp sticker packs. OFL-1.1, no email wall, no paid tier — it started with a paywall and that was obviously wrong: a joke nobody can paste into a group chat isn't worth anything.
There's also a written entry per icon — what the phrase means, when you'd send it, and why the existing emoji fail. Writing those turned up things I didn't expect: "performative" is now a contranym, and "beige flag" reversed meaning inside a year with page one of Google still contradicting itself.
Fair warning on one thing: these are drawn at 96-128px, not 24. The stroke is under 1px at icon-tray size, so they work as things you send rather than as UI chrome.
Happy to answer anything about the drawing or the build.
