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.

but that may be overkill.
Normally I add some sad emojis before the hug emoji.
