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.
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.

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.
Speaking as an elder millennial, the thumbs up has always felt dismissive over text messages but not in other contexts.
