Finding different emojis and symbols can get overwhelming💦. It’s also easy to lose precious time browsing for endless choices. So here are some of my favourites that you’ll need.
Emojis can be a great choice compared to the traditional bullets for lists for a casual writing style. They can make your points stand out, act as CTA and be more memorable. Use based on your topic and the atmosphere of your post.
Checkmark
✅ ✔️
When to use (Guide only) — Checkmark emojis have many esthetic varieties. Used commonly to convey “success” or “in-scope”. Add them to sentences that talk about achievements, goals, completed action steps, or the right ways to do things.
Crossmark
❎ ❌✖️
When to use (Guide only) — Cross-marks emojis are commonly used to convey “mistakes”, “errors”, or “failures”. Add them to sentences that talk about the wrong ways to do things, outdated strategies, or common pitfalls to avoid.
Use the Check-mark and Cross-mark to quickly highlight key featured properties or in-scope / out-of-scope items or for a quick SWAT kind of checklist.

Using palm gestures

When to use (Guide only) —The palm gestures emojis are especially suited to focusing attention and amplifying your message. In general posts with these emojis are easier to connect to (I have tried using it :) for your reference).
Choose the upwards-pointing or downwards-pointing finger emoji for your readers’ call to action (CTA) based attention.
Concepts like “An idea!” or “Note!” or “Not so great” are great for lists, reminders, or announcements. Use could drive the reader's attention to external videos or links to say “Hey, click here or look at this”
