About the hug 🤗 emoji

It's so twisted. It's like something shitty happens and you want to send a compassionate hug with understanding about the situation and the only option is this smiling one. It looks almost cynical, unrelatable, especially if the other is sad. We need a hug emoji that's more appropriate for comforting situations.
That's why I use this one instead. 🫂
I've copied and pasted it into a Word file, and from there, copy and paste it into my messages. It seems so much more fitting. 🫂

Too bad SW doesn't include it in their population of emojis.
I think lots of people would use it.
The sad one isn't any better. Only because there's a pattern of it being used in contexts where it isn't even necessary. I could be sharing something as trivial as a casual walk on a sunny day and suddenly have half of SW rushing to hold my hand, sob and sing kumbaya. It makes me feel like I should be traumatised in situations that don't even warrant that reaction.

I remember someone complaining about that before. Could have been me but I don't remember 🤔 but anyway I believe that's why SW made this reaction emoji. We need it as a normal emoji it definitely should exist.

Yes I agree. But I'm still waiting for my Steve Buscemi emoji

Yes! I could not, agree more. At times, the smile hug, makes me feel awkward too! I have written about this before. It's so obvious. 😊🌷

You could use
but that may be overkill.
Normally I add some sad emojis before the hug emoji.
I agree, the hug emojii could do with being designed better
