References to social media should be reproduced (as much as possible) exactly as in the original, including spelling, capitalisation, special characters (e.g. hashtags, emojis), etc. Include the text (up to the first 20 words) and use a description of any audiovisual material in square brackets. If it is not possible to reproduce the emoji provide its name in square brackets (check for emoji names at http://unicode.org/emoji/charts/index.html).
Whenever possible, use the original post, not references to a post from another post.
