Tone matters
Not really flirty on its own. If it *feels* flirty, it's because of the words around it, the existing context, or the person sending it. It's more of a 'thinking of you while you're busy' or a gentle tease, rather than a direct come-on.
Parent context
When your teen uses 👩💻, they're likely making a lighthearted, often ironic, comment about doing schoolwork, homework, or some online task. It's usually a way to say 'I'm busy with school' or 'I have to do work' but with a bit of a relatable, sometimes complaining, tone.
There's almost no concern here. This emoji is super innocent. If anything, it indicates they're actually engaging with their studies or tasks, even if they're joking about it.
