Emoji are small picture characters used in messages, posts, emails and websites. They can show emotion, objects, people, places, symbols and ideas.
Beginners can start with common emoji such as 😊 Smiling face with smiling eyes for friendliness, 😂 Face with tears of joy for laughter, ❤️ Red heart for love, 👍 Thumbs up for approval and 🙏 Folded hands for thanks or please.
The main rule is to use emoji to support your words. Emoji can make tone clearer, but they can also confuse people if the meaning is too vague or if the emoji has slang meanings.
To learn the basics, read what is an emoji, how do I use emoji and what do emoji mean.
