Also usernames that are just emojis. That's just so odd. I'm not even sure how to think of their username in terms of pronouncing it.

I pronounce it as "that guy with the emojis as a username"

Interesting fact. The Unicode Consortium, which defines what is an emoji and how they are encoded in text, has an official list of descriptive short names for almost all 3k+ of then. So although they don't have pronunciations, they do have names.
