Can you speak emoji? Take the quiz

Whether it’s becoming the subject of Hollywood films or replacing acronyms in Instagram posts, emojis seem to be taking over the world.

It is now the UK’s fastest growing language and an online translation company has tested whether or not the emoticons are truly universal.

One Hour Translation asked translators of 11 different languages what they thought different combinations of emojis meant.

There were a wide range of answers, demonstrating that some symbols were not simply universal, or at least easily misunderstood.

We've used some of the emoji questions and definitions to test your knowledge.

We've also kept some of translator's funnier answers, posted below the quiz.

So how well do you translate emoji? Take the quiz below:
