    I totally use šŸ™ƒšŸ˜šŸ˜‘šŸ¤”šŸ˜”šŸ˜¬ with my team where appropriate, šŸ’ÆšŸ”„šŸ‘ŠšŸ¤—šŸ™Œ also get used (with like every other emoji you listed) by the entire department all the time, usually as reactions to messages, reaction gifs are also pretty common. Similar thing to šŸ‘ beside a message, just extra descriptive. Client conversations are limited usually to just šŸ‘ reactions. They’re great for symbolic indicators in reporting too.

    I like how much extra information emojis bring, definitely used emoticons and the like for that in the past so it’s just a continuation of that to me (I still use emoticons from time to time, ellipsis too) tone is often lost in text otherwise.

      Using them to create tone and context is very helpful.

      An example of where it’s excessive to me is Martin Wimpress’ Ubuntu MATE blog, like I know what a paper cut is, the emojis don’t add anything and are more of a nuisance to read. I think Martin has toned it down in his more recent posts.
