I believe an emoji dictionary is only helpful if emoji senders universally rely and agree upon its definitions.

I find myself confused by emojis from time to time, and for me the confusion doesn't stem from misunderstanding the emoji's expression, it stems from what the emoji means within the context of the conversation and my relationship with the sender.

Emojis can lessen ambiguity when they're used to complement a message or communicate tone. I believe they increase ambiguity, however, when they're used to replace words altogether.
