Comment on The horns emoji is the hearts emoji for boys
xylogx@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoThats great! I feel comfortable using the heart emoji with my wife and kids, but for co-workers it can be a little creepy depending in the circumstance. I started using the blue heart, but that just cause confusion. I found the horns conveyed the thought better without being creepy.

Yeah, I totally understand the potential creepiness factor with coworkers, but I just try to read the room, and as far as I know, I haven’t creeped anyone out. I find the heart emoji should be used sparingly regardless of gender. My (female) manager recently wished me well while I was sick, and a heart emoji was the perfect response.
