Summary | Samsung’s emoji designers don't always follow what other creators do. As a result, users might not always see the same emojis. For instance, Apple, Google, Microsoft, LG and HTC all have a red flag emoji, but Samsung's emoji is a yellow flag. The same problem arises with other emojis that are very different: person bouncing ball, prayer beads, ledger, and cookie.

Summary | The Daily Mail released a list of emojis with double meanings. Some seemingly innocent emojis might in fact have another X-rated meaning. For instance, the mailbox emoji can mean "sex". You can use any emoji to talk about sex, but some are being used more than others. For example, the eggplant emoji is now widely accepted as a way to represent a penis. Most emojis can have a double meaning; they can be interpreted at face value or mean something completely different.
