Hmm What is this equivalent in normal emojis?

I miss Confused frequently outside of MN. Hotmail used to have one but they scrapped it when they became outlook. I generally resort to :s in true mid-noughties texting style.

I miss Hmm outside of MN. NONE of the others are right.

I miss Blush as well

@Clawdy

But what does the little cross in the box mean??? Can't see it in the emoji list?
Clawdy- that's when an emoji won't replicate on your device! Grin

I think this one 🧐 is fairly close. It's one of my favourites and conveys just the right amount of "what fuckery is this"?

I’m usually mid second search through of my emoji board before I remember I’m searching for an MN one.

I absolutely love HmmConfusedGrin

I would happily buy them in order to use in every day life. MN this could be another revenue stream?

Clawdy · 16/01/2021 22:47

Ah thank you NavyFlask !

DickKerrLadies · 16/01/2021 22:49

I knew this would be about Hmm

Grin

I agree that something must be done about this. Are we going to coordinate a campaign of strongly-worded letters to the emoji people?

Lockdownshmockdown · 16/01/2021 23:00
Hmm

This Mumsnet emoji is absolutely dripping with sarcasm and contempt

HmmHmmHmm

Woahisme · 16/01/2021 23:06

@Clawdy I did wonder what you on about Grin

@DickKerrLadies I love your user name. Are you Prestonian?

Duffmcstockings · 16/01/2021 23:40

Sometimes you need sarcasm and contempt. Emojis are just too optimistic

I killed my own thread. Women up people.

Hmm is good but is fairly well replicated by 🤔 or 🤨

The ones that have no equivalent are Confused (er, what the hell??) and 🙄 (sigh, ffs)

LemonViolet · 17/01/2021 00:52

🤦🏻‍♀️

minipie · 17/01/2021 00:56

Oh yes that’s a great one

olderthanyouthink · 17/01/2021 00:59

New emojis are agreed by a committee but they are implemented by individual companies so they look different in different platforms. Not sure I trust Apple/Google/Facebook to faithfully reproduce the perfection that is Hmm

DickKerrLadies · 17/01/2021 07:21

@Woahisme yeah I'm in the area Smile

Woahisme · 17/01/2021 10:21

@DickKerrLadies I thought you had to be with that username. My mum loaned me a book about them, I've yet to read it.

Sorry for thread derail.

blobbyface · 17/01/2021 11:06

I like 🙄 and 😬

sunnysidegold · 18/01/2021 12:56

I love the Mumsnet emoji Hmm and Confused.

On my phone I overuse 🤦🏼‍♀️ and 🙄.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 18/01/2021 13:02

I always thought it was a shocking omission that there is no actual 'bleurgh' emoji on MN. Instead we have to express our envy every time someone talks about cleaning up dog shit or mistaking a morsel of toddler poo for a malteaser. It's degrading! (Grin)

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 18/01/2021 13:03

I hate the little shrugging woman, btw. Absolutely hate her - so smug and passive aggressive.
