Same with the peach, but now I have to ask, who uses an Emoji in a professional setting? You're skirting the edge of being professional already if you ever use more than ":-)" in an informal Slack message (Aside from close coworkers/friends obv).
- radley 9y agoThey're not used for formal communication. Emoji are used more for informal / familiar conversation. Adding a cake emoji to "Happy Birthday" in Slack is nicer than plain text. Younger-staffed start-ups will use emoji alongside "oops", frustration, and/or celebratory statements.
- pinot 9y agoI've definitely had older sales-type people text me using emojis. It's very "hey fellow kids" and I'm 32. The business in discussion are often multi-million contracts. I would never use texts in the first place with vendors outside of "running late"-type communications.

- rabboRubble 9y agoThe Japanese are more likely to include emoji in their writing, as they are the inventors of the communication style. You might send a kadomatsu emoji to a client and that could be completely acceptable, depending on the nature of the relationship. The Japanese, of course, would have additional formalities beyond a kadomatsu including year end cards, spring gifts, etc.
