Even though emoji are often referred to as the new universal language, meanings can vary widely from one culture to the next. Take the thumbs up emoji. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very popular in the West, and is the ubiquitous Facebook icon, but in the Middle East it\u2019s equivalent to an offense, like giving someone the middle finger,\u201d Broni says. <\/p>\n<p>The same goes for the A-Okay hand gesture, which Broni says can be very offensive in Latin America. Even the basic happy face isn\u2019t so basic. In China, Broni says it\u2019s often used to convey that you\u2019re finished, or done with a conversation. <\/p>\n<p>Even though emoji are often referred to as the new universal language, meanings can vary widely from one culture to the next. <br \/>The Morning Email <br \/>Wake up to the day&#8217;s most important news. <\/p>\n<p>address@email.com <br \/> SUBSCRIBE <br \/>Another element that complicates emoji interpretation is which device you\u2019re using to view the icons. Since smartphone makers such as Samsung and Apple are allowed to design their own, system-appropriate renditions of the characters, how they appear can differ if you\u2019re using one type of phone to send an emoji to a friend with another type of phone. On Samsung phones, for example, Broni says that the rolling eyes emoji looks slightly hopeful, while the smirking face looks more \u201cmeh\u201d and less flirty than it does on iOS. Let this be a word to the wise: You might want to rethink texting an emoji after a first date, given the potential for some major misinterpretation. <\/p>\n<p>Broni\u2019s job is create an etiquette guide breaking down not only the meanings of individual emoji in different cultures, but also the meanings of strings of emoji together and emoji variations across devices. It\u2019s a monumental task and one that, if done incorrectly, has the potential to incite social outrage. <\/p>\n<p>The introduction of new emoji every year means Broni will need to constantly update any guide he creates. \u201cI\u2019m most fascinated to see how they impact the usage trends of preexisting emoji,\u201d Broni says of the upcoming release of Emoji 5.0. \u201cWill mind-blown become the new emoji synonym for wow instead of the current mouth wide open emoji?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The new emoji are already available on Twitter, but we\u2019ll likely need to wait until they come to iPhones this fall to understand how they\u2019re used more broadly. [Insert angry face emoji here.] <\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Today Translations hasn\u2019t put out a call for another emoji translator yet. Still, you might want to start prepping now should the opportunity arise again. In the meantime, you should probably avoid inserting emoji into upcoming job applications. Though Broni says the icons have become acceptable as their popularity grows, they\u2019re still rarely deemed appropriate in formal communications.
