    There are some really weird emoji though, e.g. what’s are these ones for 🫨🕳️🫟🧱📛💠 I cannot work out what emotion or concept these particular symbols are supposed to indicate.

    The only ones I ever really find useful are the hand gestures the facial expressions (although God knows what that first one is supposed to be), and the national flags.

    There’s also some Japanese character ones which I assume might be useful if I knew what they said.

      Highly agree. 👌👍🖕🤔😑🤭

      That’s nearly it.
      Some very special cases can occur though where I might use 😱or 🤷.

      Otherwise it’s usually just :) or ;). But damn Microsoft for automatically changing them to emojis.

      The first one there is a shaking emoji. Perhaps it could be used in response to an earthshaking news or something. I’m sure you could run searches of all of these and get the exact text descriptions from the official, global emoji standard.

      … and then report back to us, lol!
