Cross-Cultural Usage Tips
When used cross - culturally, it should be noted that the difference in cultural backgrounds may have little subtle influence on the understanding of this emoji. However, in international exchanges, whether in the context of Eastern or Western cultures, it can be used without worry to express sad emotions. But in some special cultural or religious situations, if it is not certain whether it is appropriate, it should be understood first before use.
In social situations, it is suitable for sharing one's sad emotions when chatting with close friends and family members, such as pouring out the troubles in one's life and telling about the misfortunes one has encountered. It can also be used to express sympathy for the sad stories told by friends or family members. For example, it can be used when someone mentions that they have lost their pet. In social groups, it can also be used when the members have a relatively close relationship and are discussing sad topics.
It is generally less used in the workplace. However, in a small team where the atmosphere is relatively relaxed and colleagues have a close relationship, it can be carefully used to express regret or sadness when situations such as the failure of a teamwork project or the departure of a colleague occur. When reporting work to superiors, it may also be used if the work results have suffered a serious setback and the atmosphere is appropriate, but generally it should be more cautious than in social situations.
