An emoticon is a set of symbols, or an icon that represents visual presentation facial expressions or body position to convey a mood, attitude, or emotion, originally used in messages Email and text messages. The most famous is the smiley face, i.e. smile - :-) .

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

Of course, to say for sure that the smiley is a modern invention is a bit wrong. The use of emoticons can be traced back to the 19th century. Examples of their use can be found in a copy of the American magazine "Puck" from 1881, see example:

Yes, there are a lot of such examples in history, but it is generally accepted that the first digital view emoticon, was responsible for Carnegie Mellon University Research Fellow, Scott Fahlman. He suggested to distinguish serious messages from frivolous in their use of emoticons :-) and :-(. It was already September 19, 1982. This is especially useful when the mood of your message may be misinterpreted.

YES, BUT YOU NEVER COME ON TIME, ANYWHERE.

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

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

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

Around the same time in Japan, Shigetaka Kurita began designing emoticons for I-mode. But unfortunately, widespread use of this project, never happened. Maybe because in 2001 Laufrani's creation was licensed by Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, and other manufacturers mobile phones who later started offering them to their users. After that, the world just flooded different interpretations emoticons and emoticons.

The following variations with greases and emoticons became the appearance stickers in 2011. They were created by the leading Internet company in Korea - Naver. The company has developed a messaging platform called - Line... The same messaging app as WhatsApp. LINE was developed in the months following the 2011 Japanese tsunami. Initially, LIne was created to find friends and relatives during and after natural disasters and in 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 applications in Japan, in particular among adolescents.

Emoticons, emoticons and stickers today, more than 30 years later, they began to take a place in everyday conversations and correspondence of people. According to studies conducted in the United States, it was found that 74 percent of people in the United States regularly use stickers, emoticons in their online communication, sending an average of 96 emoticons or stickers per day. The reason for this explosive use Emoji is that the creative characters designed various companies, help to express our feelings, help to add humor, sadness, happiness, etc.

In modern written language, there are no tools that would quickly reflect the mood of the author, his emotional state and attitude towards the interlocutor. In literature, writers usually cope with this by expressing thoughts in several sentences, but in Internet correspondence, where speed is important - in a messenger, on a website, when communicating in in social networks, this is highly impractical. Such a dialogue will be protracted, because each interlocutor will have to think about how he will use certain words, whether the other side will understand it correctly.

And here emoticons come to the rescue ʕ ᵔᴥᵔ ʔ - sets of characters that display human emotions or visualize some kind of message. They significantly save time and simplify text communication between network users.

Japanese emoticons made from characters

As a highly emotional and creative nation, the Japanese have quickly mastered emoji communication. Moreover, their language rich in visual images made it possible to create several thousand variants of their emoji, called kaomoji (stands for face + symbol). Their main difference from the designations popular in Western culture is that the schematic representation of a human face is always in the horizontal plane. It does not need to be mentally flipped 90 degrees. Otherwise, the differences are minimal, except that the Japanese do not hesitate to abundantly spice up emoticons with rare signs.

Japanese emoticons of positive emotions

Emoticons of joy - usually distinguished by high-set eyes, a smiling mouth and raised stick-hands. The mouth can be used the most different symbols, from the usual dot to the letters of the Greek alphabet. Many Japanese women use the letter ω (omega) for their mouths, resembling lips folded in a bow. So, in their opinion, the smiley becomes more cute, “kawaii”.

Love emoticons - in them the Japanese very often use the heart symbol ♡, placing it on their cheeks, in the hands of an emoticon, or even instead of eyes. Asterisks (*) in context indicate embarrassment, as do the hands covering emoji's face. The letter ω (omega) indicates the intention to kiss the interlocutor.

(´ ∀) ノ ~ ♡ - an emoticon with a raised hand, a tilde and a heart imitates an air kiss sent to the object of its interest.

Σ> - (〃 ° ω ° 〃) ♡ → - the original confession “I fell in love”. Kawaii emoticon pierced by Cupid's arrow.

(ノ ´ h) ノ - an emoticon with all its appearance showing that its sender wants to hug and kiss the addressee.

A few more options for love emoticons:

Embarrassment emoticons - as mentioned earlier, the most common symbol for this emotion is *, associated with blush and / or various signs with lines that imitate hands covering the face and eyes. Alternatively, oblique strokes (////) can be used. This kind of drawing is often used in Japanese animation when you need to display embarrassment on a character's face.

(◡‿◡ *) - a shy emoticon who lowered or closed his eyes.
(⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄ ⁄) – сильное смущение, заставившее покраснеть все лицо человека.

(* /。 \) - an embarrassed or ashamed emoticon, awkwardly trying to cover his face with his hands.

Other common embarrassment emoticons:

Japanese emoticons of negative emotions

Discontent emoticons - the generally accepted expression of this emotion is considered to be a wrinkled face and / or squeezed eyes (this convention was transferred to emoticons from anime and manga).

(# > <) - This guy clearly saw something annoying him and narrowed his eyes in displeasure.

(︶︹︺) - symbolizes a contemptuous person, looking at the interlocutor with disdain.

<( ̄ ﹌  ̄)>- this person clearly does not intend to joke and is ready to sort things out in a raised voice with the subject who caused her dissatisfaction.

Other types of discontent emoticons:

Anger emoticons are the most negative emotion that is difficult to confuse with any other.

For an even more frightening effect, wrinkles, attributes such as claws or offensive gestures are added.

(‡ ▼ 益 ▼) - An angry grin, a scar on his cheek, black eyes and a wrinkled nose. With all its appearance, this smile demonstrates that it is better not to mess with it.
ψ (▼ へ ▼ メ) ~ → - the guy with the spear and pitchfork is clearly angry with someone, so it's better to stay away from him.
(凸 ಠ 益 ಠ) 凸 - small pupils in people are often associated with anger, irritability and other negative emotions, so they are very suitable for this emoticon.
٩ (ఠ 益 ఠ) ۶ - clenched fists and a fierce look. This angry emoticon is not only angry with symbols, but also does not mind taking out his anger on someone.

Sad emoticons are some of the easiest to display. It is enough to choose the symbols so that the eyes look tear-stained, for example, use two T letters.

(× ﹏ ×) - wavy mouth combined with cross-shaped eyes symbolizes suppressed painful emotions.

Fear Emojis - Fear emoji are easy to depict with the right eyes and hand gestures. Shouts, attempts to cover the face, chaotic waves - all this can show how scared a person is (from a slight stupor to panic and horror).

(・ 人 ・) is a graphic illustration of the saying "Fear has big eyes." A frightened look and pupils narrowed with horror.
\ (º □ º l | l) / - can be regarded as a call for help or running around with shouts of “save-help”.

Indicating various actions with Japanese emoticons

<(_ _)>- deep bow and admission of guilt.

m (_ _) m - letters m represent bows from a sitting position. Hands rest on some surface, for example, rest on a table.

__φ (..;) - a semicolon and small eyes hint at the subject's focus.

(^ ▽ ^) ψ__ is another spelling option. This time, instead of the symbol φ, an equally suitable ψ is used. True, if you use it in the wrong context, the image of the writer can be confused with a person sitting with a fork in front of a plate.

Conclusion

V Lately cool emoticons from symbols have lost their relevance during online correspondence. Now almost all social networks, forums, instant messengers and other types of resources provide their own sets of emoticons / stickers, much more colorfully illustrating the desired emotions. Nevertheless, creative people can always find a use for thousands of different character sequences. In the same online games and chats, a nickname decorated with symbols will look great.

P.S. If you want to create your own emoticon or find original symbols for your emoji, you can use one of the many databases on the Internet. Convenient catalogs provide a huge number of options on a variety of topics. As for portable devices on Android and iOS, for complex text emoticons there is a special application that allows you to find and insert a prepared text emoticon into the text in a couple of clicks.

The author of the first emoticons from symbols is considered to be the American scientist Scott Fahlman, who in 1982 proposed to indicate the seriousness or frivolity of messages on the university bulletin board by combining punctuation marks such as a colon, a dash and a round. :-) and:-(

And even earlier, in 1969, use parenthesis Russian writer Vladimir Nabokov, then living in the USA, guessed as a smile or chagrin. In his interview with an American magazine, he hinted that it would be nice to come up with a special typographic symbol to denote the author's emotions, then sometimes it would not be necessary to answer stupid questions from journalists.

Punctuation marks on the keyboard are shown in the second row from the top. It is enough to hold down the "Shift" button (in the fifth row from the top, the first button) and select the appropriate character in the row of numbers and symbols.

Modern users of computers and mobile phones have more than 60 emoticons in their arsenal. The most common ways to express emotions are:

:) simple smile
:)) happy smile
:> irony
: D laugh
: (chagrin, sadness
Z: (anger
:,(tears
O_o shock
OO surprise
:-*
C) a smile under sunglasses
:-/ disappointment

As big eyes use O. To create a wide smile, press the capital letter after the colon english letter"Di". To indicate irony, you need to switch to the English layout and select the angle bracket. You can indicate age or belonging to any youth culture. For example, a little girl is given a bow on her head, which is indicated by an eight 8 :-). And punk will draw his distinctive mohawk using the equal sign = :-)

Some people use symbols to paint full-fledged faces. This style of emoji is called Kaomoji or anime. Parentheses are used to denote cheeks, and between them the necessary signs are inserted for a particular emotion. For example: (^_^) means smile, joy, shutting your eyes with pleasure. The cheeks and mouth are typed in the Russian layout, the eyes in English (number 6 with the key held down). If you add \ and / to the face from the sides, you get a man jumping for joy with those raised up.

Symbols can also come in handy for identifying items and gifts. For example, let's say you want to give a rose to the person on the other side of the screen. Most of all, the icon "dog", that is @, looks like a pink bud. A hyphen is suitable as a stem, and a leaf is drawn using an inclined stick. You can present a flower with a ribbon, taking in the form of a ribbon curly brace... As a result, it may look like this: @ - / --- or so @) ---. The gift can be in the form of a cake made of square brackets: [,,,]. Candles are inserted using the "ё" button on English layout.

Users with a rich imagination manage to draw a hare or using several options for brackets and spaces. Open up blank sheet v Word program and experiment with pressing different buttons, changing layouts, etc. Perhaps it will turn out to be a masterpiece too.

Smilies: to use or not?

Emoticons from symbols are very common lately. And rightly so, because another more universal and quick way displaying your emotions and experiences during text correspondence- does not exist. Today, almost everyone knows at least two or three sets of symbols that represent emotions. This set includes parentheses for a person's lips, colons for a person's eyes, and a semicolon for a wink. However, you may come across an emoticon written in symbols, but not understand its meaning. This article will help you get closer to understanding text emoticons and memorize character combinations to display your emotions in text correspondence.

Even modern written speech not endowed with the properties of a quick display of emotions, so that at the time of writing the text, the author can show the experiences he is overwhelmed. Only using a couple of sentences or phrases. Before the era global distribution the Internet, there were no problems with displaying the emotional component of the writer. Only with the advent of the internet and increased communication through writing text messages in chats, instant messengers, forums and so on, such problems appeared. It would be inappropriate to write in a message that you are smiling now, or winking at your interlocutor - this would be more like an absurdity, and if it does not have an emotional component at all, then a dry and callous dialogue turns out.

While communicating in real time, it is not possible to select words to display emotions. You can put a question mark for a question, for admiration - an exclamation mark, but how to show your seriousness to the interlocutor or what you were joking? All these problems were solved in the early 80s. Then it was proposed to attribute the characters colon, dash and closing parenthesis to comic messages, that is :-) - text version of a smiling face (side view). Such a set of characters is a smiling emoticon. Subsequently, the dash, and then the colon, have ceased to be used and they just write a closing parenthesis. ) .

For messages that are filled with sadness and worries, it was suggested to attribute the set text characters colon, dash, and open parenthesis, that is :-(... This set of text symbols shows a face with eyes, a nose, and the corners of the lips drooping down. As with the joyful, smiling emoticon, in the sad smile they subsequently stopped writing the colon and dash characters, and began to write forgive the opening parenthesis (.

This is how the ubiquitous and all kinds of use of emoticons in the form of text symbols began. The main emphasis is on the rapid expression of emotions using some sets of text characters, but semantic emoticons are also used, showing states, actions, the surrounding nature, and so on. Standard set there are no text symbols as everyone writes them differently.
