View source for Letter and emoji codes of paraphilias

The online paraphilia community sometimes resorts to using various codes to represent paraphiliac identities. This is both an aesthetic choice and a way to avoid censorship.

The codes, presented in this article, may seem inconsistent or overlapping, because they were created by different people who were not aware of each other. The information is gathered both from supportive resources<ref>[https://rqemojis.carrd.co/# Radqueer Emoji Codes] via Carrd.</ref> and prejudiced ones<ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xQm_qVNnWpcVNEcTAhcRuTPpW2axiSfkRaAdyjrSkyA/edit ζΘΔπφξςµλτ𝛎νβẟͰ𝜢ΩΣ...‽ WTF‽] via Google Docs.</ref> and may require further correction. 

== History ==
It is highly likely that the first example of such code is the zoophile ζ, which predates all known zoophile flags. Map μ and general paraphiliac πφ appeared in 2019. 2020 saw the "map emoji of the month" trend, and creating emoji codes for paraphilias became widespread since 2022.
