As the title says can we please have an emoji to represent sarcasm

I have seen Hmm used and Confused but as they have other meanings it would be nice to have just a sarky one

Its been on a fair few threads recently that a poster is being sarky and other posters have taken them literally

Which personally i find quite funny, but clarity on some of the more emotive threads would probably be more useful than entertainment for me

Please and thank you

A sugar cube would be a good sarcasm emoji....

Oh god

I know you agree...but im not going to be able to tell if other posters agree without the emoji

I hate this one Hmm. It's so passive aggressive.

A sugar cube because it's sweet and you don't mean it Grin

I think if you have to have an emoji to show you are being sarcastic then you sarcasm isn't too good.
I got deleted for being sarcastic once. Apparently if I had put a smiley at the end it would have been fine. Confused

This smiley Hmm is the best one and I could really do with it for RL.

Wouldn't disagree per se

But i did see a poster yesterday very much on side A of a debate be a bit sarky and another poster...obviously also on side A of a debate was having a right go

Twas funny...and served the first poster right for being silly

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 12/12/2018 09:57

But not on here...too scared Grin

Oh yes 😏 is good too.

Just infringe Apple copyright @mnhq Wink They’ll be too busy to notice.

Just don't post 'You must be very proud' without a smiley. Wink

The poster I was being sarky to was deleted and banned eventually so I feel my deletion didin't actually count.
