If you do some emoji mashups with the swearing emoji, you get different styles of emotional swearing.
That would be a neat way to mutate this emoji, similar to how skin tones work now.

One of my favorite emojis is the "hugs" emoji đź«‚. Or an "okay_blob" custom reacji that my favorite Slack uses. I use it all the time to indicate "I hear you and I know what you're saying is emotional. I support you".
Another very progressive Slack I'm on has a "hugs OK?" emoji you are supposed to use first. Only if the other person responds with the "hugs OK!" emoji are you then allowed to respond with an actual "hug" emoji.
I think I'm a pro-explicit-consent person. But it strikes me that this careful three-way handshake, all for 16x16 pixels in a virtual environment, may be a little much.

Astronomie: Erstmals präzise Masse eines einsamen Exoplaneten ermittelt
Zwar kennen wir schon Dutzende Exoplaneten ohne einen eigenen Stern, ihre Massen konnten aber nur geschätzt werden. Jetzt ist eine präzise Messung gelungen.
