Emoticons have become such a part of our lives that without them the alphabet looks incomplete, and messages seem dry and distant. But even such a frivolous and childishly simple task as arranging emojis has its own subtleties.
What do different emoticons mean?
With object emoticons, everything is simple: they mean what they represent. A ball is a ball, an alarm clock is an alarm clock, and there’s nothing to think about. But with face emoticons the task becomes more complicated. We are not always able to correctly guess emotions from the faces of living people, let alone the faces of koloboks. There are emoticons whose meaning is obvious:
Fun, laughter, joy, rejoicing.
Sadness, melancholy, melancholy, dissatisfaction.
Playful mood, teasing.
Surprise, amazement, shock, fear.
Anger, resentment, rage.
And a few more similar ones - that's all possible options families and romantic unions.
But among the emoticons there are also those whose meaning can be interpreted ambiguously, or even be completely confusing:
This emoticon depicts a person crying in three - well, two - streams, but in the version for Apple devices Because of his raised eyebrows and his mouth, which is not distorted from sobs, he is often perceived as laughing until he bursts into tears. Be careful with them: you want to indicate grief to them, but they will misunderstand you.
This emoticon is intended to represent silence. Instead, he just scares you to death.
If everything is more or less clear with the evil devil (“angry as hell”), then the cheerful devil is somewhat puzzling. Most likely, he is not only furious, but also looking forward to dancing on your opponent’s grave. But you, perhaps, just wanted to show originality and an unusual smiley.
Despite the fact that the three wise monkeys did not see, hear or speak anything precisely because of their wisdom, these muzzles cover their eyes, mouth and ears in shame, confusion and shock.
A set of cat emoticons for those who consider ordinary koloboks to be insufficiently expressive and want to add sweetness to their emotions.
Instead of “hello” and “bye,” you can wave your hand.
Raised hands, a gesture of joyful greeting or jubilation.
The applause is both sincere and sarcastic.
If in this picture you see hands folded in a prayer gesture, then for you the emoji may mean “thank you” or “I beg you.” Well, if you see a high-five happening here, it means you are a very cheerful person.
A raised index finger can emphasize the importance of a message or express a request to interrupt the interlocutor with a question, or it can simply indicate a previous message in the chat.
Fingers crossed for luck.
For some it’s “stop”, but for others it’s “high five!”
No, it's not a truffle. Not even a truffle at all.
Ogre and Japanese goblin. Looks like someone is missing the usual devils.
Liar. His nose grows like Pinocchio's every time he lies.
These are eyes wide with amazement, and the darting eyes of a scoundrel, and even a lustful look. If someone sends you such an emoticon in a comment to a photo, you can be sure that the photo is good.
And it's just an eye, and it's watching you.
New moon and full moon. It seems like nothing special, but these emoticons have their fans who value them for their creepy facial expressions.
A very common girl in purple. Her gestures mean OK (arms above her head), no (crossed arms), hello, or I know the answer (raised hand). This character has another pose that confuses many - . By official version, it symbolizes the worker help desk. Apparently, she is showing with her hand how to get to the city library.
Do you also see two tense faces here, presumably in an unfriendly mood? But they didn’t guess: according to Apple’s hints, this is an embarrassed face and a stubborn face. Who would have thought!
By the way, you can see hints for emoticons in the message window on if you open an emoji and hover over the emoticon you are interested in. Like this:
Another way to find out the meaning of an emoticon is to turn to emojipedia.org for help. On it you will find not only detailed interpretations of emoticons, but you can also see how the same emoticon looks on different platforms. Many unexpected discoveries await you.
Where are emoticons appropriate?
1. In informal friendly correspondence
Funny yellow faces are appropriate in a personal chat, where you share not so much information as your mood. With the help of emoticons, you will laugh at a joke, sympathize, and make faces at each other. This is where emotions belong.
2. When emotions splash over the edge and there are not enough words
Sometimes, when something very important happens in our lives, we are so overwhelmed by feelings that we are about to burst. Then we write an emotional post on Facebook or post a dazzling photo on Instagram and decorate it with a generous scattering of emoticons. Some people, of course, won’t like this, but what now, stifling all the bright sensations in yourself? The main thing is not to overuse such public displays of violent emotions: this will alienate subscribers and call into question your adequacy.
3. By agreement, to highlight messages in work correspondence
It's very simple and convenient way make noticeable important messages requiring urgent response. For example, great for these purposes. But you need to agree in advance which cases are considered urgent in your company and what emoticon you will use for this.
It’s important not to overdo it: if you have one emoticon for messages about emergency situations, a second one for urgent issues, a third one for important news, then soon all work correspondence will turn into a New Year's garland that no one looks at.
When is it better to do without emoticons?
1. In business correspondence
Work is no place for emotions. Here you are required to be calm, collected and professional. Even if you want to emphasize your friendliness or express concern about a situation, use , not emoticons, for these purposes.
2. When communicating with foreigners
This is especially true for gesture emoticons. For example, the person you wanted to express approval of will put an end to your good relationship with a person from Greece or Thailand. Of course, with this gesture you sent him to hell.
Therefore, if you are not confident in your deep knowledge of the peculiarities of the national culture of your interlocutor, do not take risks.
3. Oddly enough, when you discuss feelings and emotions
Feelings are a serious matter. If you are not just chatting, but revealing your soul or sharing something important, words will convey your feelings and experiences much more accurately than emoticons. “You are dearer to me than anyone in the world” means much more than ten hearts in a row. In the end, you only have one heart, so give it away.
Remember that emojis are a seasoning, not the main ingredient. You only need a small amount to add punch to your message.
Emoji language
Judging by the fact that today almost no personal correspondence is complete without emoticons, we can safely say that emoji have become an independent section of the language. Sometimes they even pretend to replace language: you can write an entire message using only emoticons. In the popular American TV show Ellen DeGeneres there is even a special section in which guests are invited to read a phrase where some of the words are replaced with emoji:
And here the name of the film is encrypted, which we invite you to guess.
