Are your favorite emojis a list of the best CNET options?

Every July 17, the Internet comes together and celebrates World Day emojis. The date was chosen because it is shown on 📅 Evaluating emojiBut it is a day to appreciate everything Expressive symbolsEven the most mysterious, like 🫙jar. In honor of the Internet holiday, I asked my CNET colleagues what they are favorite of their favorite and most used emojis.

The voting rules were simple: You can only vote once for your favorite emojis and once for the most used emojis. There was more diversity in the preferred emoji category because individual tastes were self -made, while there was more homogeneity among most of the emojis used – not surprising in the work environment. But SPEKYS dominated both lists, as it forms more than half of the favorite Emoji and less than half of the choices for most emojis used.

Yes, I voted in the survey, and the creative genius was not at the forefront of any of our lists.

So without more confusion, here are some of the most used and most used emojis and what these emojis mean.

2 Expressive symbols for our favorite, and vitality is “everything is fine”

There were two expressive symbols that came in the front of the CNET favorite emojis. the 🫠 melting the face and 😬 The dark face Each had about 10 % of the sounds, making them the favorite emojis for CNET employees.

According to EMOJIBEDIA, Solid It can be used for steroids or to transfer a feeling of embarrassment or feeling slowly dread.

“The melting of the smiling face is just a perfect packaging when you are about to collapse from the things that are going well but you have to smile all,” said Product Curry, the CNET editor, who voted for the melting face. “It is just a pleasant cartoon expression when I move a lot of things as a worker and there is chaos in the world, because when everything feels like a failure, I just want to laugh.”

and Glory It can be used for stress or embarrassment, as well as negative or other tense emotions.

“People, who voted in favor of expressive symbols in his face, said,” People, who voted in favor of expressive symbols in the face of expressive symbols, said, “The new deliberations? Snow raids? Workers’ hairstyles? The symbols of expression expressive symbols are dark here to say” people really. ” The dark expressive is all this overall with an innovative acknowledgment -“well, this may also happen” mysterious enough to cover a lot of situations. “

This means that two CNET favorite emojis can be used to transfer negative feelings. Does this mean that we are all dealing with the feelings of nervousness at any specific time, or is always anxious? I can’t talk to everyone on the employees, but I am worried by the ceiling now.

Some people really surprised me with their favorite emojis

While most of the favorite emojis were smiled, there were a few of the unusual sounds. I am particularly thinking of the two people who responded that their favorite emojis were Dwarf and 💺 The seat Expressive symbols.

Troll Emoji can refer to an internet dwarf or hunting a person, so I understand and appreciate use there. But some people see that these expressive symbols are more than just Hunting around.

“There is something about his amazing but eccentric design that completely applies to any interaction,” said Eileen Nelson, a CNET analyst, who voted for Troll Emoji. “I am on Monday morning or a sarcastic response to the funny texts of my friends. I love his embarrassing smile and unbridled hair with a full -strong rough scen.”

I agree with Nelson. Who did not feel the way this dwarf sees on Monday or on the first day to work from a long vacation?

The seat of emojis is … well, it is just a seat, but it may mean more for certain people.

“I love the emojis of the seat because for me it represents travel!” A large Wesley Out, who voted in favor of expressive symbols, said. “I am not sure whether it is a train, plane, or anything else, but the boy, this seat looks comfortable.”

The good news is that the oath of money. Emojipedia says the term “seat” can indicate a fixed seat on mass transport, such as a bus or seat. At the end of the day, the right of Aut; Sure, it looks like a comfortable seat.

The most used emojis shows how to be multi -use emojis

While there was a tie for my preferred Ilam in CNET, one of expressive symbols received about 20 % of the sounds for most expressive symbols used, that is 🙏 Folded hands Expressive symbols. While these expressive symbols can be understood as prayer, they can also be interpreted in other ways.

The common meaning of folded hands is the expression of expressive symbols as a reserve for five. according to Expressive symbolsThis understanding of the expressive symbols on Twitter around January 2012 before it was seriously launched more than a year in July 2013. However, some early designs of emoji included rays of light behind hands or people who run their hands in prayer.

The folded hands were also used in emojis sometimes to connect someone to beg or ask for something. In some cases, these expressive symbols used to say “Thank you”, as shown in this GIF cat.

More importantly, none of these understandings of the folded hands are wrong. Language-and during the extension of expressive symbols-is something constantly developed. This is great, because I will continue to use emojis to mean five times and you cannot stop.

CNET employees ❤ We turned emotional symbols

Besides the spread of the matters through the most favorite and most used emojis, I also noticed that the relevant emoji is the second most expressive symbol in general.

the Purple Heart and 🫶 The hand of the heart Empering symbols were voices as the favorite emojis, and 💖 The sparkling heartand Red heartand Yellow heart and Black heart All of them appeared in the most outstanding emojis.

All expressive symbols in the heart can be explained as love for others, but some can be understood in other ways. For example, Emojipedia says that the black heart can be used to transfer “a basis, sadness or a form of dark humor”, while the purple heart can be used to indicate to Purple A medal granted in the American army to the soldiers who were wounded or killed at work.

If you have seen the strike Netflix Show adolescence, some of Heart emoji It may look familiar. In the show, adolescent character explains Adam what the different colored hearts of young people mean. In adolescence, a red heart is easily understood as love, but the yellow heart is a more question, “I am interested in you, are you interested in me?” The purple heart means that the person is a cornea – so, as you know, you may not use this emoji everywhere.

But some people only want to spread positivity through heart -related symbols, especially after they feel that other expressive symbols are chosen by inappropriate people.

“After the technique of Bruce Exoji spoiled the beloved sparkle “By making it a visual synonym for AI, there was an opening. I made heartfelt hands all the time in real life, and I love spreading joy online as well,” said Cent Katelyn Chedraoui, who voted for Heart Hands Emoji.

CNET favorite emojis are just a variety of emojis themselves

These are some of the most favorite and most used emojis among CNET employees in 2025. The person’s favorite emojis are a personal choice, but group experiences constitute what every emoji means.
