I agree. I find them most useful to express feelings or emotions, but so many of them are missing. MSN Messenger used to have a "hug" emoticon---replaced from ({) or (})---that I always miss as emoji. But then you have all these crazy Emoji ligatures... I feel that the Emoji Unicode team is just a bunch of people having too much fun (not complaining, having fun is important :-)
- madeofpalk 9y agoDon't worry, they're too busy arguing to have fun https://www.buzzfeed.com/charliewarzel/inside-the-great-poop-emoji-feud https://www.buzzfeed.com/charliewarzel/inside-the-great-poop...
- Darthy 9y agoThere _is_ a hug emoji: https://emojipedia.org/hugging-face/ https://emojipedia.org/hugging-face/
- dr_zoidberg 9y agoNever caught it's meaning as a "hug emoji"... Been using it to refer to a gesture that a dear friend of mine does with her hands though. Guess the meaning is in the eye of the beholder(s)?
- signal11 9y agoI never thought of it as a 'hug' either, somehow I always saw it as a person with really tiny hands :-o
- arximboldi 9y agoThat doesn't look like a hug at all. Also I liked how with the MSN one you could say ({) and your friend would reply (}). There is something meta about closing a brace there too... Ohhh, nostalgia.
- mikewhy 9y agoYeah I thought this was "jazz hands".
