Twitter is working on emoji reactions to tweets

First part:

 Twitter is working on emoji reactions to tweets similar to what Facebook offers. At present you can only like a tweet by tapping the heart button. Twitterplans to add more reactions for “Likes”, “Cheer”, “Hmm”, “Sad”, and “Haha”.

Second part:

These tweet reactions were spotted by Jane Manchun Wong who mentioned it earlier too this month. The icons for these tweet reactions are the same as the emojis. But Twitter is yet to finalise the icons for cheer and sad, and are using the generic heart icon at the moment. Based on the screenshot shared by Wong, Twitter will display the different tweet reactions along with the number of reactions received. It’s similar to how Facebook displays emoji reactions to posts and comments. Twitter is also expected to show who reacted with which emoji.
