China's super-app emoji & stickers
WeChat (微信) is China's dominant chat super-app. It bundles its own custom emoji ("WeChat smiley", thumb, etc.) which have specific cultural meanings — some are subtly sarcastic.
How to use: Open the WeChat sticker picker. Cultural note: the WeChat 微笑 (smile) is often used sarcastically/passive-aggressively by younger users.
