This was my first thought when I saw today´s hashtag challenge!

Interesting that when reading various articles about emojis, I read that it´s considered ok to use them in business emails/texts now! It certainly was NOT the case when I worked (and taught business English for many years) - maybe things have changed now. Friends working in academic situations told me the use of emojis is still very much frowned upon, and you would definitely get negative feedback in your annual appraisal (if not before). I get regular emails/SMS from my banks, financial advisor, charity sites, the government and my online supermarket etc and they NEVER use emojis. I wonder if anyone in the TN community uses them in a work situation?

I can´t find many of the flag emojis on TN, so I´m pasting them here:

I like using emoji, sometimes I struggle to find the right words. Though I would never use them in a formal email.
I wonder if people use them in the same way, or if they mean something different to different people? Do they have the same meanings in different parts of the world? 🌍🌎
I remember a friend in Japan telling me about 'smileys', when they were just made up of punctuation. In the UK they focus on the mouth, but in Japan they use completely different ones and focus on the eyes.

This Croton megalocarpus is growing in project Plant to Stop Poverty, Tanzania.
