As you may have heard, Swiftkey have just released a study analysing global patterns in emoji usage. Drawn from one billion pieces of data, some of the conclusions are surprising (Arabic speakers use flowers four times more than anyone else) and some are not (the eggplant is the universal emoji for dick.)

Check out our official proposal to the emoji High Court, or whoever it is who’s actually responsible for these things.
