Technology has changed the way people talk to each other, and emojis help people express ideas in visualways. Considered casual at first, emojis were not welcome in work-related messages, but that is changing. It is becoming more common for people to include an emoji in their work 5 emails. Some offices even use emojis to express ideas that only people in their company will understand. In many cases, the meaning of an emoji may be viewed differently by different people. For example, somemight think the folded hands emoji means “prayer.” Othersmight see it as “high five.” Stillothers might think it means “please” or “thank you.”
