An online survey conducted in the United States in April 2022, found that 76 percent of emoji users had received an emoji that they felt did not match the emotion the person was trying to convey. Overall, three-quarters of Generation Z users had used emojis differently than their intended meaning, and half of millennial respondents said they had sent an emoji that they later regretted sending.
