After the recent Netflix programme Adolescence it was apparent how children use emojis to have full conversations with each other, without adults being aware of what is being said. Please see a number of posters that highlight the meanings behind them. Please understand that context matters and that the meaning of the emoji can vary based on the conversation. It is essential to consider the surrounding text, previous messages and relationships between the people communicating.
