Think of emojis as Egyptian hieroglyphs - we've been there, done that.

On the other hand, emoji are far more international - everyone knows what a thumbsup means ....

In some places, a thumbs up means "Up yours!" Not very friendly at all.

Mea Culpa - not my intention :)

I guess the victory/peace sign would also be a bad example (and that amongst english speakers).

I’m sure the 3 developers from Iran/Iraq who don’t know English and would be offended by that are fine.

It does have an air of "yeah fuck you buddy" sometimes to get a thumbs up

I hope at least one emoji is universal...<3
