Emoji, popular with Finns, means something quite different from what is widely thought.
It is an emoji where the palm points to the viewer, and the little barbecue, index finger and thumb are upright. So here: 🤟

The upright thumb gives the gesture a completely different meaning. In reality, the craft means “I love you” (in English I love you), which is clear from, among other things, the technical information of emoji.
Emoji comes from American sign language. The reference vertical little barbecue refers to the letter I and the index finger and thumb upright form an L letter. In addition, the little barbecue and thumb together mean the letter Y in America’s sign language.
Together gestures form an abbreviation Illywhich is a well -known abbreviation for the “I love you” expression.
According to the Daily Mail, several users of the Message Service X have told about embarrassing situations and confusion with the use of an emoji resembling a devil’s horn. Many people thought that emojis can be said, for example “Rock is”which in Finnish could be, for example, “Rok Rok”.
The wrong use of a gesture resembling a devil can cause gray hair in Finland, as our country has been annoyed, among other things, as a “mechanical mechanical metal music”. Fortunately, Pirunsarvy has its own emojis. There is no thumb.
