The real meanings behind some of the most popular emojis revealed

Emojis — they might be beloved or canceled by Gen Z, but certain ones have deeper meanings.

A British cellular company has revealed the truly in-depth implications that come with sending many of these little symbols to garnish a text message.

One can mean you’ve been sentenced to the friend zone as the sender has zero romantic interest in you, while others pass along more discreet messages to imply that someone is under the influence, stressed, in need of a favor or engaged in drama.

These are, according to the company Fonehouse, the subliminal implications being sent with some of the most searched emojis.
