How and When to Use the ๐ SOS Button Emoji
- If youโre sharing a post/repost either on your feed or story about something that needs immediate help and attention you can use ๐. For instance, โBurning building on street 11. Please. If anyoneโs around, alert the news! ๐โ or โGo! He needs your help, dude ๐โ.
- You could also drop ๐ as an emergency. Like, โEmergency!!! Get to the hosp ๐โ or โWaiting for the rescue operators to get here ๐โ. Also, using ๐ without any verbatim also conveys the same message.
- ๐ was originally a morse code used way back in the 1910s. Nonetheless, you can still use this emoji either as a reference to morse codes in general or even in its authentic meaning; โSave Our Shipsโ.
- Some examples for the previous point are โ โWe really need a language of our own ๐ Itโs impossible to communicate without the others listeningโ or โCould you please save my ship here? ๐ The person you set me up with is leaving. Um. Hello?? Bestfriend??โ.
