    Those would be emojis not emoticons.

    I miss emoticons. I am so done with emojis.

    As to the subject you posted about color, that is crazy.

      Thanks. I never knew the distinction between the two. These emojis are usually used as reactions in our company to indicate you read a post, are investigating, giving kudos, etc. We actually have an entire document in Confluence specifying which ones to use, for which reactions.

        Well I guess that stops ambiguity. There was a discussion here about people taking emojis the wrong way. Get ahead of the problems I guess.

        I stopped using thumbs up, and started using check marks to acknowledge its done or I know.

        You should copy your work and put out a reference webpage. I don’t think many businesses are as far ahead as you I would think.

          You are absolutely correct about the ambiguity and problematic emojis. The trigger issue was the usage of hearts as “kudos” reactions. That’s where we use the thumbs-up emojis now.

          The idea of a reference webpage is a good one, but with Slack allowing you to upload your own emojis (and us using some -- such as the Piccard facepalm and “modern solutions” meme), we’d have to be very careful to show only the default ones.
