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 resources that are supportive of all these identities<ref>[https://rqemojis.carrd.co/# Radqueer Emoji Codes] via Carrd.</ref> and the ones that are prejudiced against some<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, going back to at least early 2001<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20010202023300/http://www.zetapin.de/ Zetapin.de] via Wayback Machine, a stylized zeta logo can be seen in the top left corner.</ref>. 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.

== Emoji codes ==

Almost every paraphilia has more than one emoji code, because they were periodically changed to avoid harassment from antis.
