Emoji. It's a whole new language birthed in the era of computer and smartphones. We use it to depict all kinds of emotions when words simply won't cut it. It has been such an integral part of our culture that in 2015, Oxford Dictionary named the face with tears of joy emoji as the Word of the Year, and it's not even a word! Even the world's biggest companies like Domino's use emoji to relate to their audiences. With the hundreds of emoji currently available, you may have probably used some in the wrong context. 

Here are 10 emoji you've most likely been using wrong ever since they popped up on your phone:
