Smiley faces, ice-creams, kittens - an emoji for every occasion. But can an emoji sum up a whole country? Over to our Fifth Floor colleagues: Famil Ismailov of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Russian, Hewete Haileselassie of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Africa, Gulnara Kasmambet of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Krygyz and Leyla Khodabakhshi of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Persian give us their suggestions on how to represent their home countries in emoji form.
