Unicode characters Emotions section generic representations

The Unicode characters Emotions table should use the generic representations outlined in the Unicode standard 6.1 instead of the corporate representations of them (I believe the current set is the Microsoft set) this would make more sense as the table is suppose to be illustrating the Unicode Emoticon standard not the generated representations.

The other option would be to make the table so it shows the standard and then various corporate representations. --Burden50 (talk) 16:59, 10 August 2013 (UTC)Burden50

The "Lenny face"

Should "Le lenny face" emoticon be included in this article? For those unfamiliar, it looks like this: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)(Wikipedia makes it look very different for some reason.) It's very popular on the Internet, and I don't see why it wouldn't be included. [Soffredo] 19:29, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

I've been told Know Your Meme isn't a reliable source, but it's been used all around Wikipedia. Could we use the lenny face article from there as a source? [Soffredo] 03:30, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Sadly it's not a reliable source, and some editors periodically go through Wikipedia removing all citations based on it. It's essentially a wiki, like everything2, h2g2, etc - however, if the page links to any Reliable Sources, those can be utilized. –Quiddity (talk) 04:32, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Treva0 (talk) 14:31, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Facebook isn't a reliable source anyway. I haven't seen <ref nofollow> before. Kudos to you for knowing it, but please could you avoid using it (or any form of <ref>) in edit requests like this.

:,( & :,)

I have no idea where to find a reliable source for emoticons, but I encounter these teary-eyed ones way more often than the variants with an apostrophe instead of a comma, so if someone were to add them, that'd be appreciated. Twincast (talk) 13:09, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Can the people editing this page just relax?

I just want to say, I understand Wikipedia is supposed to be all sourced and verifiable content, but when dealing with emoticons there is NO SUCH THING as verifiable content. It is content made by people looking at a character map and making new emoticons based on feelings. This may be an inherent flaw in Wikipedia, but really, common sense should dictate that articles such as these should operate under more lax rules due to the inherent untraceable nature of emoticons themselves. Even if a source for an emoticon is 'verifiable', how does one make sure that that source didn't pull it from an 'unverifiable' source? What I'm trying to say is, when dealing with internet culture, there are no verifiable or unverifiable sources, only common sense as to what the current meaning of the emoticon is, which quite frankly is something the community at large should decide on in talk pages, not just a few people moderating the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.77.157.99 (talk) 12:05, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Trouble with that is, we'd open ourselves up to all kinds of hoax, trolling and whatever. This is still an encyclopedia artice, not a forum. Sorry. --Stfg (talk) 14:45, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Hoax and trolling? How? If the emoticon has a description, and it looks like that description, how is there any room to get trolled? There should be an emoticon for having a serious stick up your butt, because some of the frequent janitors on this page have much need of one! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.56.42.108 (talk) 07:00, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello y'all. Two things.

First of all, I came here looking for the meaning of >.> and I did not find it.

Second, I have noticed this on multiple articles. It seems there are a great number of people who are a bit trigger happy when it comes to deleting content. If it has informational value, it should be kept, and it bothers me that this article was even nominated for deletion.

Eastern vs. Western

There should be some explanation of what is meant by "Eastern" vs. "Western" emoticons. I can guess the meaning but I'd prefer it either explain what's meant or just be switched to "Vertical" and "Horizontal" which is a more objective/descriptive & less questionable. 12.11.149.5 (talk) 21:31, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

The entire article's current "categorisation" of Eastern/Western is flawed and poor to begin with. The article initially separated 2channel emoticons used in Japan from another subset of "Eastern" emoticons which were completely unrelated to one another, however for some reason, the two sections were merged together. In my opinion, this article's current state is very poor, and really needs a revamp.

As an explanation of what I mean, ^_^ was originally used on Korean internet forums, and was never once used as a mainstream "thing" in Japan; meanwhile, Japanese emoticons such as （*´▽｀*） are hardly used elsewhere by non-Japanese speakers, because inputting those characters requires a Japanese IME, and its correct display relies on a fullwidth or a shift_JIS based font, such as Mona. This article previously had three sections before the 2channel section was merged into an arbitrary and meaningless "Eastern" label. --benlisquare_T•C•E 04:07, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

It's just the most common way of specifying the difference between the two. I'll get to work clearing that up on the article namespace! Supernerd11 :D Firemind ^_^ Pokedex 02:10, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

It's still an unnecessary generalisation. The commonname of the continent west of Europe and Africa is "The Americas", but I'm pretty sure some people in the United States, Cuba and Argentina would be left with a sour taste in their mouth if I said that "(insert South American war criminal here) is an American". The origins of the Korean and the 2channel emoticons are remarkably different, just like how a Columbian cocaine cartel boss has nothing to do with the United States. Categorizing everything as "Eastern" is highly Americentric. --benlisquare_T•C•E 03:29, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

The reason it's more convenient to list them as eastern or western is so we don't have to list every single country they came from, the article would become a heaping mess & the article would become too overwhelmingly large to navigate. We could maybe change the wording though.Thdegy (talk) 11:39, 14 March 2014 (UTC)Thdegy

Just so everyone knows what I'm referring to here, this is what the article looked like at 05:56, 7 January 2012 (UTC). There were three sections, namely "western" (emoticons originally used in English-speaking websites), "eastern" (emoticons used on South Korean and Southeast Asian websites, largely typed using ASCII characters), and "2channel" (emoticons unique to Japan's BBS boards, their derivatives, NicoNico Douga, and domestic blogs; often involve double-byte character encodings). For some reason, "Eastern" and "2channel" were merged together sometime afterwards. Separating the article into these three sections had been the original de facto status quo for many years, since 20:55, 6 May 2007 (UTC) if not earlier, and prior to the section merge. There was no proper, adequate and reasonable talk page justification as to why the sections were to be merged together; the talk page archives mainly address things such as page reliability, but nothing I find satisfactory regarding the category sections. --benlisquare_T•C•E 23:50, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

That's quite interesting. I'd be all for adding the "2channel" section back in, along with all the information that was lost along with it (assuming the sources are verifiable, I don't know Japanese), but consensus is needed. Would this be a good time for a straw poll? Supernerd11 :D Firemind ^_^ Pokedex 01:56, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Please, a reliable source means you can check and depend on. So, 12 years on the net with a few modifications, on a personal website, with a few studies on(french)world-known fables of La Fontaine, for years to day with top results on best search engines, should be enough to be checked and trusted, for such an add.

More, an emoticon crossing languages, should need no translations to access. As the result is matching with the (famous photo and drawings) portrait of 1926 by F.Schmutzer, imediatly given on source Sigmund Freud, and the sources published and checked what kind of trick or weakness to fear ?

As a fairly old now Wikipedia contributor in french (and even scarce ones in english, but it was easier years ago), to day, I (or we both?)would reply no, to all these questions:

Vandalism, anyway? A fake? Is that unfair information? Are there copyright violations? Is it false ? Inacurate? Redundant? Irrelevant? Is it misleading? Does it spoils anything, anybody, or anybody's works?

So is it just a little piece of valuable new information improving a far more complete article? Now it's up to you, and may be further to wikipedia readers and/or builders to tell about . : (Of course, should it be a bait or a lead to have a look or to taste more of... everything, science, french literature, La Fontaine's fables... or Freud... or just a...  ;-) .

Sorry to be long, and more if I'm wrong. Thanks to you, anyway for all !

Mogadorien (talk) 16:31, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Note: Welcome. I think you and I have different interpretations of reliable. The reliable source policy we use here frowns on self-published sources without regard to the age of the source. I agree, though, that there is little cost to the project if this were included, so this is more principle than practical. I'll leave the request open and won't comment if someone else chooses to implement this. If you'd like to persue whether this is reliable, WP:RSN is the best venue for discussing that. Cheers, Older and ... well older (talk) 17:41, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

• Hello, Older and ... well older, I'm back.

Your reply has been welcome, far more useful and productive than I could expect (two more smileys of Freud designed, the last ones improved, and a new page with the meaning of that odd short story published as http://marcohana/art-ascii-freud ) and I've read once more Wikipedia policies; and I stay shared too.

Well, the meaning of reliable is quite the same here and there and I agree on what you said, to settle down the case. Indeed, it's of very, very small importance. However because it's looks for me a border line problem worth to be discussed, and that a possible clearing may be helpful for such ones further, I 'll try to submit the case to WPRSN, to persue as you suggested, even if I don't feel so easy in english. Of course, should it have no interest, and be only a waste of time for everybody, I'll ask to kindly forget it and drop it. Best thanks and regards, Mogadorien (talk) 20:01, 22 June 2014 (UTC)(talk)

New emoticons?

There are some emoticons that are commonly known across the internet, internationally. 2 examples are:

t(-_-t):F**k you

>///< (variations with the eyes):Blush

Therefore I think there emotes should be added, and if a new section is needed for them, it is created. (I would also like this section to be a place for discussion of emoticons to add to the list, as making more categories doesn't help cluttering) KidLucario (talk) 18:29, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

More can be added as soon as a reliable source can be found. Unfortunately, emoticons are quite difficult to source, and I can't find any for either one of those, so they're just victims of the "accurate but unsourceable" illness. Supernerd11 _{Firemind ^_^ Pokedex} 21:00, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Fix gender bias

Switch "girlish" to "sparkly" for the second "It's here" emoticon to drop the needless gender stereotyping. Nescophe (talk) 03:21, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

 Not done. Wikipedia is not the place to right great wrongs, and the emoticon indeed is used in 2ch and other Japanese forums to represent girlishness. Changing this would be inserting blatant falsehoods into this page. If you have complaints about gender inequality, I suggest complaining to the nation of Japan first.

If you live in the United States, the Japanese embassy can be contacted at (202) 238-6700, hopefully you can convince the government of Japan to instruct the Japanese populace not to use the emoticon in such a manner, so that it conforms with western sociopolitical ideology. Once mainstream usage of the emoticon changes, then this can be reflected within the Wikipedia article. --benlisquare_T•C•E 04:43, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Emoticons as plaintext will work anywhere, even if it's not even on a computer.

Hi,

In an comment to a Washington Post article about Leonard Nimoy's life:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2015/02/27/leonard-nimoy-is-dead-but-spock-will-live-on-forever/?hpid=z4

I saw a nice emoticon:

This emoticon makes the hand sign for the Vulcan salutation "Live long and prosper."

It would be a nice addition to your table of emoticons in the section identifying symbol related to historic figures (e.g. Ronald Regan, etc.).

As a huge Star Trek fan I love this and would add it in a heart beat but, considering the recent events, I would need to see more opinions, consensus. Mlpearc (open channel) 22:03, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Dskolni (talk) 12:45, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

I would fully support it's inclusion. I first became aware of the background of the salutation in 1979, and as it is from my shared ethnic culture, I have always felt a deep affinity with it. I am glad that so many are aware of it's original roots. I remember a line from TOS episode "Amok Time", after Spock apparently "kills" JTK in a ritual duel. "Live long and prosper, Spock" Spock replies, "I shall do neither, for I have killed my captain and my best friend".

It would depend on it's origin surely? I wouldnt like to think the creator would be so mean spirited to actually copyright it? That would go against it's whole rationale surely? But you raise an important point User:Mlpearc. How can we check this? Irondome (talk) 23:53, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Note: Emoticon's can't be copyrighted. They are too simple and fall in the PD. I don't personally have time to add this, but fully support doing so as long as there is a clearly cited description of what the emoticon means.

3 small suggestions

(1) A few of the emoticons in the main list are readable without tilting one's head (for example, the loopy-eyed O_o). This variation should be explicitly noted somehow, perhaps with a footnote.

(2) The introductory paragraph mentions that a } may be used to indicate a beard. Similarly, a ~ may be used as a goatee.

(3) I'm not sure if this even qualifies as an emoticon, since it doesn't depict a face as such, but ((( U ))) means "hugs for you".

I don't have the skill set to edit this page, but perhaps someone else can.

Spaces between emoticons

I am adding extra spaces between the Western and Eastern emoticons to make them easier to read. I found that at a quick glance I had trouble at times telling where one ended and the next began. However, I'm not sure if the 2channel emoticons need extra spacing too, because I hardly understand them at all. If there are multiple emoticons in a line that need to be spaced further apart, it would be great if someone could do that. Jojopeanut (talk) 16:05, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Never mind, apparently I can't edit the text within the table cells. So this is now a request for someone who knows how to do that to put 2 spaces between each emoticon so they can be read more clearly. Jojopeanut (talk) 16:09, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

2channel emoticons dancing emoticons to repair please fix it

Hello sup Bro i was going on this page before the dancing emoticons was on it

It's my emoticon style and someone stole it to put ♪┏(・o･)┛♪┗ ( ･o･) ┓♪┏ ( ) ┛♪┗ (･o･ ) ┓♪┏(･o･)┛♪ on this wiki page, the original is from krayn live from twitch but i changed it a bit, and you know how i know you picked that one from me ?

Because you didn't repaired it you just copied paste it without noticing there's a face missing. I wanted it a little bit different than the original everyone was using

So i just want someone to repair it pleaaase, i suffer from seing my own emoticon damaged by my own hands

So delete this ♪┏(・o･)┛♪┗ ( ･o･) ┓♪┏ ( ) ┛♪┗ (･o･ ) ┓♪┏(･o･)┛♪

And change it with this ♪┏(・o･)┛♪┗ ( ･o･) ┓♪┏ ( ･o･ ) ┛♪┗ (･o･ ) ┓♪┏(･o･)┛♪

UwU and OwO Suggestion

There has recently been a lot of popularity for the emoticons "UwU" and "OwO" and I think that they should appear in this list but I have no idea whether they should go in the eastern or western section.

:^) is almost never used in a genuine manner; although it is listed as meaning "happy" on this page, almost all usage of the emoticon is to indicate sarcasm, disingenousness, or layers of meaning beyond the obvious.

Formatting Issues + One added explanation.

- The entry for Rose under Sideways Latin-only single-line art and portraits is unclear as it has multiple emoticons in the same table box, and should be formatted like the table for Sideways Latin-only emoticons .

- All the entries in the tables for Kaomoji faces and Other Eastern emoticons also have multiple emoticons with no separation between.

- The entry for Despair under Other Eastern emoticons should be re-explained as a representation of a person in a kneeling position (Japanese Dogeza). See Emoticon#Orz

- The entries in Sideways Latin-only emoticons have very inconsistent row heights. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.156.233.39 (talk) 13:08, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Cat-related emojis :3c and >:3c

The addition of the character c is used to denote a paw held up to the cat(or lion)'s face. This can indicate a cat that is pondering something in general, or in the case of >:3c, mischief. This is an emoticon that I personally had a lot of trouble understanding before it was explained to me, so in my opinion it makes sense to include this on a page explaining emoticons.

:X miscategorized?

The :X emoticon is listed as "sealed lips" but in my experience this one is used to indicate illness or holding back vomit (analogous to 🤢). I don't have any sources so I haven't edited the page with this change. Has anyone else used it this way, or just me? 2607:FEA8:1D60:6A00:5474:DE8C:3E52:480A (talk) 05:54, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

s2 as a heart emoticon

I've seen "s2" be used as a heart emoticon pretty frequently in Brazil, especially in the late 2000s/early 2010s. I'm not sure if it's used elsewhere, too, but yeah. It even shows up in online dictionary websites and Urban Dictionary equivalents (in Portuguese), so it might be a good idea to put that here in the article somewhere? 186.212.87.203 (talk) 20:40, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

under "Western; Sideways Latin-only emoticons", i suggest making the tenth box from the top in the "meaning" column say something like "shocked face". 2602:306:BC4A:C790:5C96:D24E:3C41:38DB (talk) 16:24, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

missing description

<(｀^´)> = "Ahem!", "Excuse me!"

New Emoticon

I have a new emoticon. ('c') (Characters used are ()'c )

Vulcan Salute \\// \\//,

Vulcan salute can written as \\// or \\//, or \\//_ but seems to be missing from the article.

Other, perhaps lesser known Star Trek emoticons include:

(P-| Borg

=^= (^) Combadge (see Communicator (Star Trek))

Under 'evil/devilish smiley' the left-most column second-row has a normal smiley :) All the other second row smileys are the same as the first row, minus a nose (hyphen)

Given that the smiley above it is >:-) the :) smiley should actually be >:)

(which is the smiley I came looking for, but it doesn't exist on the page) Dnaaz (talk) 09:49, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

do you have any source that documents :v being used to represent pac‐man? or even any evidence that :v is used at all? it's not in the article o_o Oikoopa (talk) 18:15, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
