Poll: What emoji best represents Philly

Catch up quick: The Wall Street Journal called the smiley emoji an "intergenerational minefield" back in 2021 — and it's still making people second-guess their texts and Slack messages.

• We get it. Discussions around the meanings of emojis have been running hot in our newsroom.

Case in point: Some think a soft smiley (🙂) and a thumbs up (👍) come across as passive-aggressive or sarcasm.

• Others think they're positive and pleasant responses.

We want to know: What emoji best captures the Philly spirit?

• Maybe 🔔 for the Liberty Bell, 🦅 for the Eagles, ❤️ for the city's nickname (City of Brotherly Love), 🥨 for our love of the doughy and salty treat, 🥩🧀 for cheesesteak, 🥊 for Rocky, or simply 🤬?

Vote in our poll and let us know!

💭 Mike's thought bubble: I'm waiting for an emoji that better represents hoagie than 🥪.
