    For the longest time (since their inception to about a week ago if we’re being precise), I thought the 🫂 emoji was an old fashioned film projector (which actually has its own emoji 📽️).

    I thought people using it were offering sympathy by metaphorically suggesting they and the recipient watch an oldie feel-good film.

    In my defence, my explanation is nicely romantic, and that hug one requires much more detail/contrast to be obvious (to me… and maybe only me 😅)
