       We know that in public speaking, correct use of gestures will help get across our messages better. Emojis that flourish in our daily     1     communication can serve this function, too, if employed properly.

        In recent years, I’ve noticed with amazement how emojis like     2     faces have crept into (逐渐融进) my office life. Supervisors start the day by issuing     3     ending with an emoji, such as “a cup of coffee” on WeChat. Even the secretary sends the reminder to all for the     4     of the next day’s work plan, with an icon of a red rose.

      

      Emojis work like arms and hands in a speech that help me emphasize a point or ensure what I say is not    5   . But emojis, especially those pictures with Chinese characters, are not for everybody and most probably not appropriate for business    6   .

      Chinese emoji users are predominantly young people led by millennials who send the most emojis per day. In    7    , users aged 40 or older account for only a small fraction of emoji fans.
      
      

Older users who want to be “on trend” may sometimes find they’re    8    embarrassment. Once I sent a new emoji with Chinese characters “I’m panicky,” one of the colleagues quickly pointed out, “Even you’re using it!”

And often, people disagree on what certain    9     are supposed to represent. When writing this article, I’ve checked with several colleagues on the meaning of an emoji stored in our    10   , and we were surprised to realize how our understanding could differ from each other.
