Thumbs Up emoji

What does 👍 mean?

👍 is a hand giving a thumbs up: okay, sounds good, got it. Like most hand emojis, it comes in five skin tones.

Tone matters with this one. Between coworkers it's a perfectly normal way to say 'noted'. Between friends, and especially from an older person to a younger one, a lone 👍 can feel cold or passive-aggressive, like a conversation ender. After 'see you at 7' it's fine. After a long heartfelt message, it's not.
