It was reported that typing “stammering” on the iPhone would produce a Woozy Face emoji, but Apple has reportedly fixed the problem.
Is the problem fixed with an iOS update?
STAMMA (British Stuttering Association) has released a press release about the display of a drunken face pictogram when typing “stuttering” on an Apple device. “It will be,” commented CEO Jane Powell.
When iPhone Mania actually typed “stammering” in the messaging app, it was confirmed that a drunken face emoji appeared, but it became clear that the problem was successfully fixed.
STAMMA has announced that Apple has fixed a drunken face when typing “stuttering” in an iOS update.

It’s unclear if the issue was fixed in the latest version of iOS 14.7 or addressed on the server side, but it’s safe to say that the Apple ecosystem has become more inclusive.
