A standard emoji that carries a private, family-specific meaning inside the group chat.
The eggplant means the garden; the ghost means uncle Peter; the crying-laughing face means 1997. Kinemoji meanings are learned by marriage, taught by correction, and enforced by usage. Outsiders reading the chat understand nothing, correctly.
Etym. — kin + emoji — the family's private heraldry, in unicode.
