Cross-Cultural Usage Tips
When used in a cross - cultural context, it should be noted that this emoji is rather subtle, and people from different cultural backgrounds may have certain differences in their understanding of it. Try to avoid using it alone to convey important emotions when not being very familiar with cultural differences, so as not to cause misunderstandings. If it is used, it can be combined with some simple words to clarify the emotional tendency.
