Better is the enemy of good.

My grandma already has trouble finding characters like # on her keyboard, I can't wait till I have to spend time on the phone with her guiding her to the emoji she needs.

Does anyone know what the state is of screen readers, braille readers, and other accessibility tools when it comes to emoji?

I don't know the actual state of it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were easy for screen readers to interpret emoji, since you just have to have it read out the human-readable name accompanying the Unicode codepoint. You'd presumably get "for free" any new emoji that are added. </wild speculation>
