Common Misunderstandings of đ
Confusion with other cat emojis
Users might confuse đ with other cat emojis that have different connotations.
Tip: Differentiate đ (general cat) from đą (cat face, often used for cuteness or a more direct representation) and đš (cat with tears of joy, for extreme laughter).
Overuse for any animal
Using đ for any animal might be too specific if it's not a cat.
Tip: Reserve đ for contexts where cats, or their characteristics, are implied. For general animals, consider đž (paw prints) or đļ (dog face).
