😂 is the most used emoji in England, Wales, and Scotland. In Northern Ireland it’s ♥️ yet this is also the most used in the UK. So either the data is wrong or Northern Ireland is pumping those numbers UP.
Or ❤️ is a close second in all countries
Yeah I’m willing to bet this map is bs
It could be Simpsons paradox!

Reminder that “national boundaries with mercator projection” maps are, while on the surface interesting, on a meaningful enough level are less useful due to sheer degree of variance. Small (sized) countries get buried to thr point of not being visible, while large (populated) countries get over-generalised to the point of meaninglessness.
Surprised that thumbs up isn’t the most popular somewhere 👍
Bath and Body Works is no different than other department stores and fast fashion retailers. They routinely throw away their products for reasons such as they do not perform well in the store or other undefined reasons. Although I can understand that the stock has to be moved, there are less wasteful ways. https://www.bathandbodyworksgiftcardbalance.com/ https://www.victoriassecretgiftcardbalance.com/ https://sites.google.com/view/starbucksgiftcardbalanceee/ https://sites.google.com/view/ultagiftcardbalancee/ https://oldnavygiftcard.com/
Sir, this is a Wendy’s
India and Nepal praying hands 🙏 were expected, Venezuela was not what I expected.
How’d they find out the north Korea one?
This graph was made from geotagged tweets.
Presumably that’s why the flags are so popular as well, I doubt Belgians are sending Belgian flags to one another in the DM’s. Or maybe they do, I wouldn’t know.
I was thinking this exact thing.
Yeah far right nationalism definitely is a thing but I don’t remember ever seeing someone texting the flag and I know quite a few nationalists.
Hope Antigua and Barbuda is alright…
I want to know why Trinidad, indonesia, Uruguay and Chile have 🤣 where as most of the world does 😂
It’s the italicized version
Normal: 🤣😂

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
I don’t think twitter users in authoritarian hellholes are acting like NPCs going “Glory to Artsotzka” every five minutes.
It’s tourism, coupled with low twitter use from the local population. Belgium has a bigger population than Belarus and unlike it isn’t an authoritarian hellhole. But it’s way more touristy. So Belgium has its own flag as the most used emoji but Belarus doesn’t.
You can see this pattern pretty clearly in the ME as well. Jordan, Yemen, or Syria don’t have their own flag as their most used emoji (despite being both small and undemocratic), because there ain’t any tourists there. Qatar does. (A bit surprised about Cyprus though, do they use twitter a lot?)
The data is probably sound, but the methodology is insane.
Given Turkmenistan’s past record it wouldn’t even shock me to find out there’s a law saying people have to do exactly that, but yeah you’re probably right
I can’t believe there’s no 💀

Genz won’t be a majority for another couple decades. Millennials and older don’t use it as much.
Japan has the only semi-interesting one.
Kuwait has something unique too
What is it and why do they use it?
What is it
And Laos 🥰
Rip france 🗿
Damn Poland okay
Shout out to all the tiny islands who apparently do nothing but send their own flag to each other all day. We see you lite buddies.
I don’t think I have ever sent a flag. So it’s wild to me.
