Sorry to be a boomer, but in the context does horns emoji mean purple devil, brass instrument, or rock horns hand-gesture?
The horns emoji is the hearts emoji for boys

Rock horns. Shorthand for “that rocks” a more manly way to say I love that.

Do you mean because boys love ska and jazz?

Don’t limit yourself like that. I use hearts, peace signs, horns, spock hands, thumbs up, whatever I feel like. There’s no need to add gender to this stuff.

Thats 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.

As a guy I’ve come to use hearts emojis more and more given it’s ok in the context…
