To share support with one another during this unprecedented time, Facebook has rolled out a ‘care’ emoji which can be used as a reaction. The social networking site already has five reactions - emojis of heart, wow emoticon, angry emoticon, sad emoji and laughing out loud one. The ‘care’ one is the newest addition to that list. Though many people have received this already, for some it’s yet to appear. The emoji is a smiley face holding a huge heart and hugging it in a way which gives out a cozy feeling.
