Abstract

Emoji and emoticons are becoming increasingly prevalent in criminal law cases around the world, although some judicial officers currently have no experience of them or of interpreting them. This article offers an in-depth examination of the area of emoji and emoticons in criminal law. It provides an overview of emoticons and emoji, including their history, their global popularity of use in modern communication, and their particular interpretative difficulties. It canvasses and analyzes international criminal cases involving emoji and emoticons. It provides a valuable table that lists each such case in which emoji and emoticons are present. In reviewing the existing international case law, this article identifies the handful of cases in which judicial officers have attempted to interpret emoji and emoticons in the criminal law context. However, it also demonstrates the absence of clear guidance on methods of interpreting emoji and emoticons. Most importantly, this article aims to assist filling this void by proffering important recommendations regarding interpreting emoji and emoticons in the criminal law context.
文本之间的阅读——在澳大利亚刑法语境中解读表情符号和表情符号
表情符号和表情符号在世界各地的刑法案件中越来越普遍,尽管一些司法官员目前没有使用或解释它们的经验。本文对刑法中的表情符号和表情符号领域进行了深入的研究。它概述了表情符号和表情符号,包括它们的历史,它们在现代交流中的全球流行程度,以及它们特殊的解释困难。它调查和分析涉及表情符号和表情符号的国际刑事案件。它提供了一个有价值的表格,列出了每一个表情符号和表情符号出现的情况。在审查现有的国际判例法时,本文确定了司法人员试图在刑法背景下解释表情符号和表情符号的少数案例。然而,这也表明在解释表情符号和表情符号的方法上缺乏明确的指导。最重要的是,本文旨在通过提供有关在刑法背景下解释表情符号和表情符号的重要建议来帮助填补这一空白。
