2023 is the year of the emoji lawsuit. This year a “thumbs-up” 👍 emoji was found to be part of a legally binding contract. In another legal case, a “moon” 🌝 emoji was found to be possible evidence of securities fraud. This legal evolution may seem a bit strange. We are more accustomed to emojis being the characters in a “cinematic masterpiece” or the subject of corporate public relations. However, times are changing, and these symbols now have financial and legal implications in a wide variety of industries. Health care is no exception.
