emojis

Emojis are some of the best ways of expressing your feelings and appreciation for your friends and family with visuals instead of words, and they can be the perfect pairing to a sweet and grateful text you send.

If a social blunder occurs in person, I know I can laugh it off and try to convince myself later that it never happened. Unfortunately, that luxury does not extend to texting.

And while these reactions have certainly served their purpose well, providing analytics for companies to know what’s going well and allowing a richer range of emotion to be displayed, they have come with subtle but loaded meanings.

July 17 is the only day you can actually use the calendar emoji, and it also happens to be World Emoji Day!
