Seven in 10 Americans believe messages are "incomplete" without an emoji, according to new research.

The survey polled 9,400 hybrid and remote workers, spread across 11 countries—including 1,000 in the U.S.—and revealed Americans are more likely to find emoji-less texts or messages to be lacking, compared to global respondents (71 percent vs. 57 percent).
