I agree with the :tada: icon, 🎉, but I don’t agree that 🙏 means “thanks” or that 😮 is actually surprised. 😮 looks sorta {horrified, frightened, shocked} to me.
That’s based on how you see those icons get uses in the wild, or what they look like to you? I agree that both of them are somewhat weird to interpret to mean those things, but, like, 😛 also is not at all what I do in real life when I’m making the particular flavor of silly joke that 😛 conveys, yet here we are.

yep both of those. I’d label those “praying” and “shocked”. this is not to say you’re wrong to see them that way locally, just that my view of emoji zeitgeist differs from your view of it.

Nod, gotcha. Do you have emoji you typically use for surprised/thanks?
none of these are quite right. exclaim is the most appropriate one, I think.
in comparison, I guess
isn’t that weird after all!
