    If one is going to use emojis, it is contextual.

    An emoji is roughly equivalent to body language, facial expressions, and/or audible cues. They should be inserted wherever the intended action would occur.

    An example: man, I laughed my ass off. 🤣

    Would be acceptable, but: man, I laughed my ass off🤣. would be better because the laughter is integral to the sentence.

    However; man, I laughed 🤣 my ass off. would also be acceptable because it is being used to demonstrate the action.


    Something like: cats make my heart happy. 💓 😊

    Would need it to be outside the sentence because it reinforces the message instead of being part of the message.

    Emojis can be the equivalent of hand movements in a way, so where they get placed is about where you would place a gesture.
