They have specific meanings that you either know or you don't, and sometimes those meanings differ in different subcultures. And subtle variations can completely change their meaning (in the UK, flipping the two-finger "peace" sign around makes a huge difference!) Similarly, there are a number of emoji with very specific meanings (?, ?, ❤, etc.).
Their meanings can vary from culture to culture (the "OK" sign is quite vulgar in some countries), and they need to be learned individually for them to make sense. There's a relatively small collection of gestures with specific names and specific meanings (nodding, flipping the bird, thumbs up, etc.). Currently, the most popular emoji on emojipedia is the heart ❤.Īs Gretchen McCulloch points out in her recent book "Because Internet", emoji have more in common with the gestures that go with spoken language than they do with language itself (whether spoken, written, or signed). Since it came up in an earlier reply, the most commonly used emoji for a long time was ?. Posted by flug at 12:15 AM on September 4, 2019 You're treading on completely unplowed ground. However, after that somewhat lengthy but also nearly-on-topic digression, I will add one last interesting and actually relevant bit of information to this discussion:Ī search at Emojipedia for the term "emoji" returns no results found. Include them in your new emoji and you'll be golden.) Point being, you can do a lot with quotation marks. Those quotation marks will suggest that you are not talking about that emoji itself and what it means, but you are referencing the very idea of emojies-just the same way I used the quotation marks around ""emoji"" in that first sentence-and just as I've been forced to resort to double quotation-marks here in this sentence because I am trying to refer to the concept of the word "emoji" with quotation marks around it, not the concept of "emojies" as a whole or to any specific emoji or its meaning. (Hey, by the way, those quotation marks in the first sentence of this post suggest an interesting solution if someone does want to make a new emoji meaning "emoji": Take the most commonly used/known emoji and put quotation marks around it-and that becomes your new emoji.

Since it appears that you can't really just add emojies to the list willy-nilly however you would like, this doesn't really answer your question and just demonstrates, once again, that I am an Old who doesn't understand emojies, what they are, how you use them, or how to answer questions about them. What I'm suggesting in my post above, though, is making a whole new emoji that represents the idea of "emoji". Posted by flug at 12:00 AM on September 4, 2019 So I may not be your best judge of what an emoji should or should not be.

I go so far as to take a full minute to disable the emoji button on any keyboard or device I use so that it doesn't take up valuable real estate that could be used for something far more productive, like the \, }, or, ~ key.
Hazard warning: I am officially an Old as I don't understand what emojies are or why anyone likes them. Something like an emoji-sized chunk out of the middle of this poster showing a bunch of emojies. (Comes from this page, BTW-more on that later.)Īnother idea would be a little piece of an emoji poster, something that shows a bunch of emojies in rows, suggesting that you're talking about the whole list of emojies. Just for example, a little chunk of this screen keyboard, which, handily, comes with a Giant Red Arrow pointing directly at the emoji button, just to make your meaning absolutely crystal clear. Ideally it would be the most commonly used such button or symbol, something anyone who uses emojis would instantly recognize because they have pushed it approximately one million times. An example of a button used to select emojies, as mhum suggests, is a very good idea.
