To honour this important occasion, Twitter released a heap of data about the world’s emoji usage.

What would you expect the most used in Ireland to be?

A snarl? A broken heart? The smiling poo emoji?

Wrong.

Our top three are the thumbs up, the see-no-evil monkey, and the a-ok hand

How do we read into this?

  1. We’re agreeable
  2. We find your stupid mistakes and regrets kinda sweet
  3. We are chill

Then there are the most used emojis worldwide, which again, we’re sad to see has no poo emoji included
