Emojis are a staple in modern communication, yet many have secret meanings that can be disturbing. A recent analysis by MailOnline highlights the cryptic interpretations of 60 popular emojis, revealing connections to drugs, violence, and other sensitive topics. The educational initiative by For Working Parents aims to raise awareness among parents about these hidden meanings to facilitate necessary discussions with children. Amit Kalley, the founder, emphasizes the need for parents to remain vigilant and informed about their children’s digital interactions, as these symbols can fluctuate in meaning across different contexts.
Viewers of the hit Netflix show, Adolescence, were shocked to learn of the double meanings behind emoji including the '100', pill, beans, and orange heart.
Some of the emoji - including the pill, mushroom, and balloon - are code for drugs, while others have Neo-Nazi connotations.
Amit Kalley, the founder of For Working Parents, urged parents to 'keep researching and asking the right questions' about their children's digital lives.
The table includes 11 emoji that are secretly related to drugs. The 'snowman', 'snowflake', or 'eight ball' emoji can all be used as code for the various slang names of cocaine.
