Emojis

Hello: Could emojis be created for a kiss, hug, etc. that don't include smiling or winky faces but serious expressions? I have several friends that are experiencing life crisises and the happy hugs, etc. aren't appropriate. Thanks so much.

While you may get an Emoji on one platform that is the way you like, each platform tends to express the image for the Emoji the way they like. For example, the gun emoji has been express as a water pistol on some platforms.

You could find an image that expresses what you are feeling and send that. Assuming the receiver can see your image, it should be exactly what you want them to see. Granted it is a higher bandwidth way to express an emoji and it may not work for all destination user devices.
