Say it with emojis👍💜🔥

One of the most commonly used communications today are emojis. Emojis are small icons and images. The word "emoji" comes from Japanese and stands for: e (絵, "image") and moji (文字, "character").  With an emoji you can express an emotion, feeling or answer in the form of an image. Don't say it with words, but use a simple thumb or heart. Fast, easy and international.

Also within vPlan we now support emojis. To help you with the use of emoji's, here is a small course:

14 emojis to use within vPlan

5. Side-eye Emoji 😏

This emoji is an easy way to draw attention to a link or image. It's a way of saying, "Look at this!". Seemingly easy.

The blushing face is a nice way to show your humility or your gratitude. It is also often an alternative to express happiness or joy.
