Emoticons have become such a part of our lives that without them the alphabet looks incomplete, and messages seem dry and distant. But even in such a frivolous and childish way simple matter The arrangement of 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 sobbing in three - well, in two - streams, however, in the version for Apple devices, due to raised eyebrows and a mouth that is not distorted from sobs, he is often perceived as laughing to the point of 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 head), “no” (arms crossed), “hello” or “I know the answer” (arm raised up). 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 with 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 important messages that require urgent response visible. 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 is important not to overdo it: if you have one emoticon for messages about emergency situations, a second for urgent issues, a third for important news, then soon all work correspondence will turn into New Year's garland, which 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.

Are you sure that you correctly use emoticons and other symbols common in modern in social networks? Most likely, in some places you clearly got everything wrong, although you might not have suspected it.

Of course, you shouldn’t take the interpretation of emoji too seriously, but knowing the meaning of some icons will certainly not harm you. What if, out of ignorance, you are misunderstood? This is easy to check, because there is a very clear decoding of all known graphic symbols, and you can find it in the Unicode character encoding standard system.

In this collection we will tell you about the most popular pictures, emoticons and emojis, which may surprise you a lot with their meaning. Are you ready to become a real professional in recognizing them?

25. Sad face

Due to the fact that the sizes of emoticons are very small, sometimes it is almost impossible to see them in all details. For example, this picture is not so much about tears, but about stress and anxiety. All the salt is in the shades of feelings...

24. Name badge


Photo: Mozilla

Most users think it is a flame symbol and it is easy to understand. However, the creator of this icon drew the tag.

23. Hugs


Photo: Twitter

Most likely, you thought that this emoji raises its hands in the air to show everyone its joy. However, this is another misconception, and a fairly common one. In fact, this emoji symbolizes a hug.

22. Savoring food


Photo: Emoji One

Sticking out your tongue, as it turns out, is not flirting or mimicry at all, but, according to the designer’s idea, a way to show that you have eaten deliciously. You will lick your fingers, as they say!

21. Tired cat


Photo: Emoji One

This face seems to be very frightened by something, so people very often use it to show their interlocutor their great surprise. However, in the Unicode database, this icon means a tired or bored cat.

20. Hands up!


Photo: Emoji One

Raised hands remind some people of something Christian, but in fact this image does not carry any religious connotations. It's simply raising your hands in honor of any joyful cause.

19. A look of triumph on your face


Photo: Emoji One

What a surprise! Did you think this was an emoticon that conveys extraordinary anger and anger? Not so. According to the Unicode decoding, this emoji is intended to show jubilation after a difficult ordeal, for example.

18. Gesture "goat"


Photo: Twitter

The “goat” gesture is associated primarily with rock music and heavy metal. However, sometimes it is confused with “shaka”, and is passed on to each other by hardcore surfers.

17. Quiet, calm down!


Photo: Twitter

Netizens often associate this emoji with a feeling of surprise, and they are again mistaken because the emoji with a rounded mouth was drawn in order to calm the interlocutor. The little face seems to say to you: “Shh!”

16. A couple of girls with bunny ears


Photo: Emoji One

You probably think that this picture is appropriate to send to express friendly feelings or invite someone to a party. Did you know that this is the Japanese version of the famous Playboy magazine logo?

15. Japanese Ogre


Photo: Emoji One

No, this is not just some random scarecrow, devil or maniac. This is the hero of Japanese folklore - Namahage. According to tradition, people dressed as this supernatural entity walk around the city during the holidays and scare passers-by, taking away all the bad luck and misfortunes in order to leave the Japanese only happiness and blessings for the year ahead.

14. Bowing man


Photo: Twitter

Did you think this guy was doing push-ups or lying down waiting for a massage? Not at all! This is another Japanese emoji called dogeza. In Eastern culture, dogeza means a demonstration of deep respect, regret for an offense or a request for great service. In this position, the person usually sits on their knees, touches their forehead to the floor and says “please.”

13. Woman showing "Ok" gesture


Photo: Twitter

This girl is not a ballerina, she does not do yoga and does not hold the ceiling, as you might think at first glance. According to the Unicode register, she shows OK with both hands. How do you usually do this? Also with both hands and above your head?

12. Kiss


Photo: Emoji One

No, this emoticon is not whistling, he is trying to kiss someone with surprised eyes...

11. Man with his arm thrown back


Photo: Twitter

Sometimes people confuse this picture with the image of a waiter holding his tray in his hand. In the international character coding system, this symbol is called “Information Desk Person”. Someone probably decided that this is what an information bureau employee should look like.

10. Palm to palm


Photo: Phantom Open Emoji maintainers and contributors

Did you think this was a high-five? It would be more accurate to use this symbol to thank someone, ask for something, or express your empathy. It is also often associated with prayer and worship.

9. Sleepy face


Photo: Emoji One

No, this emoticon does not sneeze, does not cry, and does not snot. According to the creator of the weird emoji, this is what you look like when you're sleepy.

8. Tired face


Photo: Twitter

No, these are not groans, suffering or loud crying. It turns out that this is what a smiley looks like, symbolizing a tired person.

7. Victory


Photo: Emoji One

This gesture is interpreted differently in many countries and cultures, but in the international symbol base it means victory.

6. Roasted Sweet Potatoes


Photo: Twitter

Not a cap, not a radish, not a seed or nut, and certainly not a beet. Sweet potatoes cannot be bought everywhere, so it is understandable why they are not recognized in all countries. In fact, what you see in the picture is fried sweet potatoes.

5. Girl getting massage


Photo: Emoji One

No, these are not horns, and this little man is not in a beauty salon where they are going to cut his hair. The emoji author wanted to show what a massage symbol might look like. To make it look decent,
