What affectionate emojis are used for
Affection emoji carry romance, but most of their traffic is platonic: π₯° on a friend's selfie, π under a photo of someone's dog, π as a sign-off between people who are not dating. Smiling face with hearts joined Unicode in 2018 and now does much of the warm-compliment work heart-eyes handled alone from 2010.
