Seven in 10 Americans consider text messages to be "incomplete" if the message does not contain at least one emoji, with 57 percent of participants across 11 countries saying the same, according to a new study.

The study was conducted by One Poll on behalf of DuoLingo and Slack for "World Emoji Day" July 17.

"Fifty-eight percent of global employees surveyed said using emojis at work allows them to communicate more nuance with fewer words," a graphic from the survey reads. "55 percent said emoji use can speed up workplace communication."

Sixty-nine percent of American respondents said emoji usage allows them to communicate with more nuance and sixty-seven percent said it sped up workplace communication.

"Results also found that 67 percent of global respondents feel closer and more bonded in a conversation when messaging someone who understands the emoji they're using," Newsweek reports.

The results also show discrepancies in how people interpret different emojis.

For example, the "money with wings" (💸) emoji could be understood as a "loss of money" (28 percent) or an "influx of money" (31 percent).

"Emoji let people convey a broad range of emotions efficiently, and in a way that words sometimes can't", said Olivia Grace, Slack's Senior Director of Product Management.

"Plus, when widely accepted as part of the workplace language, they go a long way in increasing efficiency by replacing follow-up messages and reducing noise. A simple thumbs-up emoji to express approval, an 'eyes' emoji to say 'I'll take a look', or a checkmark to say 'this is done' all add efficiency compared to back-and-forth messages."
