How do you define this emoji 🙏 – is it referencing someone praying or a congratulatory high-five? What about this emoji 😚 – is it a kissy face or someone whistling? Does your thumbs-up emoji mean “good job!” or “I agree to enter into a binding contract with you?” How do you accurately interpret emojis when people define them differently? How should the law determine consent or agreement or state-of-mind when all you have are pictorial representations of text? Register here to learn how to navigate emojis in eDiscovery!
