A thread about emojis 😎

Dear Ivar

Usually I find that the range of available emojis under the ‘like’ function offers sufficient choice for most reactions.

But in the time of Covid, with so many posts of a hopeful nature - as we plan our Caminos but are not entirely sure if thé plan will come together, at least for now - I wonder if it might be worthwhile adding a fingers crossed emoji, like this . I’ve often thought that would neatly sum up my reaction to a particular post as a symbol of both empathy and good wishes.

There are other emojis that could be worth adding - e.g. the ‘you’ve gotta be kidding’; the ‘what the’; the ‘please somebody close this thread’ - but I won’t request those be added because ‘what could possibly go wrong? if we have these at our fingertips.

So what do you think about the fingers crossed emoji. I think it would get considerable use at least for a while longer. Then hopefully its (Covid related) usefulness will diminish before too long.

PS. I really like the ‘face palm’ too.
