πŸ˜‚ is the most used emoji in England, Wales, and Scotland. In Northern Ireland it's β™₯️ yet this is also the most used in the UK. So either the data is wrong or Northern Ireland is pumping those numbers UP.

Hope Antigua and Barbuda is alright...

A bunch of countries just have their own flag as an emoji... The author barely managed to identify which emoji tourists use when posting about their trip on twitter.

the data is clearly fucked given the whole UK mess, and given it's all either small countries, authoritarian hellholes or both which have their country flag I'm inclined to believe it's a "no data" placeholder

looks like (of course there are exceptions to these observations): those with a laughing face live in a media landscape mostly dominated by the people, those with praying hands, are places where mostly the theocracy have the phones, hearts mean the government has the mainhand in this and are trying to deflect of some shit, and finally, no fucking clue what the fuck japan is doing... but i dont want to go to antigua and barbuda, pray laos is allright and hope kuwait finds its place

Oman and Yemen have switched places. Other than that, I think this map is cool.

It's also the cry-laugh emoji but the tears froze on the face.

Dang. I didn't knew that 🧑 was so popular. I thought it would be β™₯️ but alright

Poland's most used emoji being Ukrainian flag is kinda hilarious.

An incredibly well-done graphic, very easy to understand and flows nicely. I wonder why Saudi Arabia has more use of white hearts specifically.

Iirc sending red heart to girls is offensive in saudi
