Love this - excellent point amazingly written! So many adults are afraid of using emoji creatively because we constantly hear of all the unintended meanings young people have given them (especially the fruits and veggies 😅).
All you need is that receiver understands you as intended - either by who they are or by the context you place it in. As it always has been in communication really. I’m bringing parts of this post right into the class I teach in content communication 📡.
A colleague of mine favorably responds to all messages with a duck emoji. His name doesn't sound like duck, he has no associations that I know of with ducks. It's just his emoji response. I 🪩 it.

Amazing piece as usual. But I'm left wondering, what is 🔥?
