The article will talk about what the emoticon means and what they are. It is worth noting that emoticons have long entered our lives and are well entrenched in it, because they, like nothing else, can convey the emotions and feelings of a person.

There are people who communicate regularly using emoticons, because with the development of progress there are already animated emoticons that can wave, wink, jump and change colors.

There are several smiley alphabets, the most common can be called standardand japanese. Japanese emoticons are distinguished by the fact that they pay more attention to the eyes, and standard ones - to the mouth.

Emoticon History

Today, almost no private letter on the Internet can do without emoticons. Some people begin to be offended if at the end of the letter a friend did not put a colon and a right bracket. Of course, this is stupid, but emoticons are so closely connected with our life.

It may seem to modern children that emoticons have always existed, but in fact, for the first time, the smile was painted Harvey bell - an artist by education. In the early sixties in America there was a war between insurers. Employees were afraid to fall under contraction and, in order to cheer themselves up and to each other, they were distracted and tried to politely and warmly communicate with the remaining customers.

One insurance company, in order to stay afloat, decided to hold an action for which they needed an interesting drawing. At the end of 1963, they turned to Harvey with this request. He painted the first emoticon :-) , which took him ten minutes to develop. For the picture he was paid a mere penny: 43 dollars. Then he did not know that his simple drawing would become so popular, so he did not register any rights to it. Harvey's first emoticons were pinned and issued to customers. People liked these lovely smiles so much that the company again turned to the artist and ordered another ten thousand smileys.

Another story that played an important role in the development of the emoticon is the seventies when the brothers from Spain developed the slogan " Happy day!" Since that time, emoticons began to depict on clothes. In 1971, a FrenchmanFranklin loufrani Smiley was registered in eighty countries.

And the first electronic emoticons appeared in the sixties of the last century. Then emoticons were used in encoding Unicode. In 1982, Microsoft decided to create emoticons, thanks to which you can show emotions.

What do emoticons in Contact mean?

IN social network VK There are two types of emoticons, these are standard ones discussed above, and voluminous ones offered by the service itself. For the past three years, VKontakte users have been able to use emoticons, since only in August 2012 was this opportunity added to communicate in personal correspondence. Until that time, Vkontakte users had to compose their own emotion designation from punctuation marks. But the developers made it easier for them: the user can open the smiley menu and select the one that describes his condition.

Initially, about thirty smileys appeared on the network, but after a while another hundred were added, which depicted not only emotions, but also the actions of people, as well as food, animals. But due to the large variety of smiles, the communication of people becomes not always clear. Not all people understand the meaning of this or that smile, or they understand it differently. In order to avoid such situations with you, you need to write a few words in addition to the smiley, so that the interlocutor understands you.

Popular emoticons VKontakte can be called the following:

  • : ok - everything is fine;
  • -: o - fear;
  • -3 (- sadness;
  • -8) - love;
  • -:] - a stupid smile.

Also in VK there are hidden emoticons that can be sent to users by pressing a few keys. But the disadvantage of such smiles can be considered that they are black and therefore repel many users from themselves.

The most common commands include the following:

  • ALT + 1 - white smile, denoting a smile ☺
  • ALT + 2 - black smile: ☻
  • ALT + 3 - the heart of love:
  • ALT + 11 - male symbol: ♂
  • ALT + 12 - female symbol: ♀
  • ALT + 13 - melody: ♪
  • ALT + 15 - the sun: ☼

For the character to appear in the message, you need:

  1. Hold the Alt key on the keyboard
  2. Dial a digital combination
  3. Release the Alt Key

What does smiley mean 3

In the table above, this smiley was given and it was said that it means tenderness. But it is worthwhile to dwell in more detail on its decoding, since not many understand it. This symbol is associated with animals such as a dog and a cat. Indeed, if you look closely, it seems to look like the face of an animal. In another way, this smiley stands for " nyashka » - This is how you can characterize any cute animal.

Do not confuse this smile with <3 , which the mean heart.

Many people and smile :3 consider a kiss, but they are mistaken as it does not mean a kiss, namely prettiness.

There was a period of time when this smile was read from a mathematical point of view, and it meant nothing more than divide by 3. But this is a comic version that did not take root among Internet users for a long time.

Emoticons denoting actions

As mentioned above, then emoticons can replace written speech and whole expressions. After all, their collection is constantly replenished, and soon people will be able to communicate only with smiles. Below will be presented a few emoticons, representing human actions.

Smile designation

Decryption

Loud laugh

Listening to music on headphones

Wave hand

(>^_^)(^_^<)

Hug

Go crazy

As we can see from the table, it is possible to tell emoticons even about their actions and desires. Some social networks have emoticons meaning that a person is reading a book, resting, eating or playing ball.

We examined in detail what emoticons mean, how they can be used to express actions and emotions. After a few years, they can replace written language. After all, it is much easier for people to put an emoticon, than how long to write and explain to a person what he is busy with or what kind of emotion he is currently showing.

Smiley decoding video

Emoticons are so firmly entrenched in our lives that without them the alphabet looks incomplete, and the messages seem dry and aloof. But even in such a frivolous and childishly simple matter, like arranging emoji, there are subtleties.

What do different emoticons mean?

With emoticons-objects, everything is simple: they mean what they represent. A ball is a ball, an alarm is an alarm, and there is nothing to think about. But with emoticons-faces the task is complicated. We do not always succeed in correctly guessing emotions on the faces of living people, to say nothing about the physiognomy of koloboks. There are emoticons whose meaning is obvious:

Fun, laughter, joy, glee.

Sadness, sadness, longing, discontent.

Playful mood, teasing.

Surprise, amazement, shock, fear.

Anger, resentment, rage.

And a few more - all possible options for families and romantic unions.

But there are some emoticons among which the meaning of which can be interpreted ambiguously, or even completely baffle:

This smiley image depicts a sobbing man in three — well, two — streams of man, but in the version for Apple devices, because of his raised eyebrows and not twisted mouth from sobbing, he is often perceived as laughing to tears. Be careful with him: you want to designate grief for them, but they will misunderstand you.

As planned, this smile should depict silence. Instead, he simply scares to death.

If with an evil little devil everything is more or less clear ("angry as hell"), then a cheerful demon is somewhat puzzling. Most likely, he is not only furious, but also looking forward to dancing on your opponent’s grave. And you, perhaps, just wanted to show originality and an unusual smile.

Despite the fact that the three wise monkeys did not see, did not hear and did not speak precisely because of their wisdom, these muzzles cover their eyes, mouth and ears from shame, confusion and shock.

A set of cat smiles for those who consider ordinary koloboks not expressive enough and want to add emotion to their emotions.

Instead of “hello” and “bye”, you can wave your hand.

Hands up, gesture of joyful greeting or glee.

The applause is both sincere and sarcastic.

If in this picture you see hands folded in a prayer gesture, then for you emoji can mean "thank you" or "I beg." Well, if you see the “give me five!” Held here, then you are a very cheerful person.

The index finger raised up can emphasize the importance of the message or express a request to interrupt the interlocutor with a question, or it can simply point to the previous message in the chat.

Fingers crossed for good luck.

For some, this is “stop”, and for someone, “give me five!”

No, this is not a truffle. Not even a truffle at all.

Ogre and Japanese goblin. It seems that someone lacks the usual devils.

Liar His nose grows, like Pinocchio, every time he lies.

These are wide eyes staring from amazement, and running eyes of a wanderer, and even a lascivious look. If someone sends you such an emoticon in the commentary on the photo, you can be sure that the photo is successful.

And this is just an eye, and it is watching you.

Young moon and full moon. It seems to be nothing special, but these smiles have their fans who appreciate them for creepy facial expressions.

A very common girl in purple. Her gestures mean OK (arms above her head), “no” (arms crossed), “hello” or “I know the answer” (arm raised up). This character has another pose that baffles many. According to the official version, it symbolizes a help desk employee. Apparently, with her hand she shows how to get to the city library.

Do you also see here two tense faces, presumably unfriendly? But they didn’t guess: according to the tips of Apple, 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 emojis and move the cursor over the emoticon that interests you. Like this:

Another way to find out the meaning of an emoticon is to contact 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. You will find many unexpected discoveries.

Where emoticons are appropriate

1. In informal friendly correspondence

Funny yellow faces are appropriate in a personal chat room where you share not so much information as mood. With the help of emoticons you will laugh at a joke, sympathize, build faces to each other. Here the emotions are the place.

2. When emotions splash over the edge and lack words

Sometimes, when something very important happens in our life, feelings so overwhelm us 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. Someone, of course, will not like it, but now, to strangle all the vivid feelings in yourself? The main thing is not to abuse such a public manifestation of violent emotions: this will push away subscribers and cast doubt on your adequacy.

3. By agreement to highlight the message in the working correspondence

This is a very simple and convenient way to make important messages that require an urgent response visible. For example, great for these purposes. But you need to agree in advance what cases in your company are considered urgent and which emoticon you will use for this.

It’s important not to overdo it: if you get one smiley for emergency messages, the second for urgent issues, the third for important news, then soon all working correspondence will turn into a New Year's garland that no one is looking at.

When to do without emoticons

1. In business correspondence

Work is not a place for emotions. Here you need calm, self-discipline and professionalism. Even if you want to emphasize your goodwill or express concern about the situation, use emoticons for these purposes.

2. When communicating with foreigners

This is especially true for smiley gestures. For example, with whom you would like to express approval, it will put an end to your good relations with a person from Greece or Thailand. Indeed, with this gesture you sent him to hell.

Therefore, if you are not confident in your deep knowledge of the characteristics of the national culture of your interlocutor, do not risk it.

3. Oddly enough, when you discuss feelings and emotions

Feelings are a serious matter. If you do not just chat, but open your soul or share something important, words will convey your feelings and feelings much more accurately than emoticons. “You are dearer to me than anyone else” means much more than ten hearts in a row. In the end, you only have one heart, and give it.

Remember that emoticons are seasoning and not the main ingredient. To give expressiveness to your message, they need very little.

Emoji language

Judging by the fact that today almost no personal correspondence is possible without emoticons, we can safely say that emojis have become an independent section of the language. Sometimes they even pretend to replace the language: you can write a whole message using only emoticons. In the popular American television 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 by emojis:

And here is the name of the movie, which we suggest you guess.

This icon is called differently: we have an inverted emoticon or an inverted emoji, they have an upside down emoji, silly emoji, etc. One way or another, but everyone is already used to the correct orientation of emoticons on the screens of our smartphones, tablets and computers.

Nevertheless, if you suddenly wanted to send someone exactly an inverted emoticon, then on the Web you can easily dig up a couple of three applications that can be used to convey feelings and emotions in electronic correspondence, let’s say so.

Such programs are especially useful when you urgently need to compose a message more interesting, demonstrating to the addressee personal originality, sense of humor and other power of intelligence.

Manufacturers and developers have understood the importance of this kind of software solutions relatively long ago and very correctly. Therefore, iPhone-, iPad- and even Mac-users do not even need to look for anything (and even more so buy separately), since the iOS 9.1 and OS X El Capitan operating systems are initially equipped with an extensive emoji catalog.

In mobile devices with Android 6, the stock of ready-made emoticons is also no worse, they are also in social networks, for example, on Twitter, Instagram or Yelp.

On the other hand, the inverted emoticon is somehow lost in all of the current emrdji violence. In the sense that it is, but in an undeservedly limited amount. Again, if desired, you can find a suitable program for turning over, including emoticons.

But in the regular emoji catalogs of the same iOS and Android, the flipping option is not yet provided. Until…

How and where to find an inverted emoticon in a regular set?

Of course, this will depend on the model of the mobile device. For example, on the iPhone when composing a new message, open the Emoji keyboard (if it is not turned on, then: “Settings” -\u003e “Basic” -\u003e “Keyboard” -\u003e “Keyboards” -\u003e “Emoji”) by a simple click on the icon with a smiley.

And since there is no built-in search for emojis in iOS yet, we look for the inverted emoticon “manually”, flipping through the entire catalog.

At first, this lesson is very reminiscent of a quest, but with experience you will still learn how to find the right icon. In iOS 9 and OS X 10.11.1, the “upside down face” is located in the “ Emoticons and people "(Smileys & People), third row, third smiley from above. By the way, the inverted emoticon will not be able to change the color - such an option is not provided. But then it can be sent in messages, it is also displayed on Facebook, on Twitter and in other applications.

What does an inverted emoticon mean? Well, officially, some specific meaning has not yet been fixed for this emoticon, and you can use it depending on the situation. True, in Emojipedia there is already a brief mention of the following content: “ The face that is upside down depicts stupidity and stupidity «.

An emoticon is a set of characters, or an icon, which is a visual representation of a facial expression or body position to convey the mood, attitude or emotions originally used in email and text messages. The most famous is the smiley face of a smiling face, i.e. smile - :-).

There is no clear and reliable evidence of who invented the emoticon. Of course, you can point to ancient excavations, finds of various inscriptions on the rocks, etc., but, these will be only the guesses of each of us.

Of course, to say for sure that the emoticon is a modern invention is a little wrong. You can trace the use of emoticons in the 19th century. Examples of their use can be found in a copy of the American magazine "Puck" from 1881, see an example:

Yes, there are a lot of such examples in the history, but it is considered that Scott Falman, a researcher at Carnegie Mellon University, was responsible for the first digital form of the emoticon. He suggested distinguishing serious messages from frivolous ones by using emoticons :-) and :-(. It was already September 19, 1982. This is especially useful when the mood of your message can be misinterpreted.

YES, BUT YOU NEVER COME ON TIME, OR ELSE.

YES, BUT YOU NEVER COME ON TIME, OR ELSE. ;-)

However, emoticons did not become so popular, but revealed their potential after 14 years, thanks to the Frenchman who lived in London - Nicolas Laufrani. The idea arose even earlier, in the father of Nicolas - Franklin Laufrani. It was he who, as a journalist in the French newspaper France Soir, published an article on January 1, 1972, under the heading “Take time to smile!”, Where he used emoticons to highlight his article. Later he patented it as a trademark and created the production of some goods using the smile. Then a company was created under the brand name Smiley where Father Franklin Laufrani became president and son Nicolas Laufrani became CEO.

It was Nicolas who noticed the popularity of ASCII emoticons, which were very used on mobile phones and began developing directly animated emoticons that would correspond to ASCII emoticons consisting of simple characters, i.e. what we use now and are used to calling - smiley face. He created a catalog of emoticons, which he divided into the categories of “Emotions”, “Holidays”, “Food”, etc. And in 1997, this catalog was registered with the United States Copyright Office.

Around the same time in Japan, Shigetaka Kurita began to design emoticons (emoticons) for I-mode. But unfortunately, the widespread use of this project did not happen. Maybe because in 2001 the creation of Laufrani was licensed by Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, and other manufacturers of mobile phones, which later began to offer them to their users. After that, the world simply failed with various interpretations of emoticons and emoticons.

The following variations with smaliki and emoticons became the appearance of stickers in 2011. They were created by the leading Internet company from Korea - Naver. The company has developed a messaging platform called - Line. A similar messaging app, like WhatsApp. LINE was developed within a few months after the tsunami in Japan in 2011. Initially, LIne was created to search for friends and relatives during and after natural disasters and for the first year, the number of users grew to 50 million. After, with the publication of games and stickers, it totaled more than 400 million, which later became one of the most popular apps in Japan, particularly among teenagers.

Emoticons, emoticons and stickers today,after more than 30 years, they unambiguously began to take a place in everyday conversations and correspondence of people. According to studies conducted in the USA, it was found that 74 percent of people in the US regularly use stickers, emoticons in their online communication, sending an average of 96 emoticons or stickers per day. Reason for such an explosion of use Emoji is that creative characters developed by different companies help express our feelings, help add humor, sadness, happiness, etc.

Emoticons in the tables will be gradually replenished, so go to the site and look for the meaning of the necessary emoticons.
