Greg, now that you've had a chance to see the utility of the agree icon over on our sister forum, would you please reconsider your decision not to have one here?

I use the 👍 as an agree emoji. (Oh look I used it above!)
I like better your suggestion of duh or headslap one. A useful response for dumb jokes or other dumb things.
Or my suggestion of a huh? or question mark emoji. Useful for eliciting a clearer or more detailed response.

What does it look like? How is it used differently compared to the thumbs-up icon? Asking for a friend... :wink:
 
Here is the current array of their emojis:

Most are like PF.
The green boxed check is agree.
They also have angry and fearful to the far right.
There's a party one at position 5.

What does the last one signify?

Fearful, according to BillTre's comment (assuming the red one is angry). Although I do think it looks more like "held the blue aerosol paint the wrong way round".

Yes or, "man it's cold in here."

I vote that the last one is "Embarrassed."
