Fun fact: Japanese emoticons have more focus on the eyes and western ones on the mouth which is a general thing in the cultures. Compare Manga and western comics and the former have big eyes and a small mouth and the latter has the other way around
NGL I prefer Japanese emoticons over the yellow faced emoji.
🥺
😱
My favourite is incredulous 🤨
😡😡
It’s missing (UwU) …still don’t know what it means.
You lucky bastard.
closed eyes and animal mouth commonly used by furries
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
“Seriously?” and “amazed” being identical would really fuck with you if you’re a bit insecure
(o_o) (0_0) (O_O)
I think zero or lowercase o is more “seriously?” and capital O is more “amazed.”
This would be easier if the guide maker typed these up instead of drawing them.
That’s actually honestly pretty true to Japanese culture.
Honne-tatamae was one of the worst aspects of living in Japan for me, especially as an autistic person.
Seriously （ｏ＿Ｏ）amazed （O_O）
The mouth is different.
Edit: Or not.
Is it? It loos a bit different but both are
_, aren’t they?Perhaps you are right. I saw the uptick on the right of amazed mouth and thought it was intended to be a different Unicode. But it looks like they’re all ASCII just stylized, so my bad.
Big upvote for admitting your error.
In general, emoticons are easy to write with a normal keyboard, otherwise they don’t fulfill their job of being useable in normal conversations. Exceptions are few ones that include kana which for Japanese people are easy to write but which were adopted by westerners like the shrug emoticon I have to google each time but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Fun fact: Japanese emoticons are called kaomoji (face characters) and developed independently from western emoticons. Emoji means “picture character” and is etymological unrelated to emoticon or emotion or anything.
TIL
I find it interesting that these emoticons are hand-drawn.
(OwO)
There’s a lot more interpretations than just these.
Yeah… This is me blased (-_-)
