heirographics

Texts composed of ideograms, especially emojis.
It isn't possible to cut/paste a good example in this text box, but I can describe one (which, by the way, doesn't involve any particular language, but I defaulted to English below). To send birthday greetings in simple "heirographics," I use variations on this series of emojis: Partying face / champagne / birthday cake / hourglass / pistol aimed at hourglass .

hireoglyphics

What da absurdly-complex questions on a job-application form might as well be for any ordinary person to "decipher".
I've occasionally been derisively upbraided about my inherent difficulty in obtaining employment ("You don't even know how to fill out a job application!"), yet whenever I snortingly retort, "Okay, well, if YOU'RE so smart and capable" and then ask said criticizing/ridiculing individuals to assist me with said writing task, they themselves are often unable to figger out da hireoglyphics on da forms, either!
