oh those are emoji
they're like facial expressions for texts because people can't see your face if you're texting them ┐(￣ヮ￣)┌
you can also make them with just symbols like this -u- ;o; ^^;
which are called kaomoji

or if you have the right keyboard you can make complicated ones like this instead
o((*^▽^*))o (ﾉ^ヮ^)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

( It's hard enough to learn how to read his letters, now he has to do this? )

Is reading faces needed on writing letters?

And what is this picture meant to be? 😷

[thedarkbond]

they're cute though... ●︿●
also if someone says something rude in text it's hard to tell if it's serious or a joke without something like that...

hmm
that looks like a sick mask
so i guess a sick person? ＼| ￣ヘ￣|／

Smiley thingies! I know that brown triangle one is poop.

Teenagers like them. I usually need my squire to translate for me.

Re: un: october

[wheresmyfingerbones]

Poop.

( Why. )

I think I need one to translate for me as well.

[errantdetective]

Well, you can't have mine. Even if I was willing to share, he's in a tube now.

[Which sucks. She misses him so much. She misses all her people so much.]

Emojis! They're a way of expressing how you feel without using words.

So like, I say: "hey man, how're you doing"
You could say: "Not good. I'm confused."

OR!

You could just send a: 👎

Easy!

[wheresmyfingerbones]

I suppose it is. But some of these emojis you called them don't make much sense to me. What was this supposed to be?

🤑

[particlebarrier]

Oh, that one's about money! Say you just got paid or won the lottery or heck, you're just feeling some love for cash, that's your emoji.

I'm guessing $ doesn't mean money where you're from?

[sparke]

they appear to be faces, a devil, a ghost, shit, the midgardian image of what aliens look like and a pumpkin

if you learn their purpose, i'm interested too

[wheresmyfingerbones]

Alien? What is that?

[sparke]

those not from the planet in question. we are all aliens here, for example

I'm Nash. [ The same as his display name. ] It's nice to meet you.

And they're new to me too, but I believe they're like hieroglyphs, or picture writing. Like you'd find on walls the Far West, or the old Aronian empire. But some of their meanings remain unclear. Like the words of hesitant lovers, alas.

[wheresmyfingerbones]

( This one is a poet. )

It seems a good deal of people manage to figure out their meaning.

[latkje]

Sure. But what about this one?💈

[emblazes]

they're faces.

[wheresmyfingerbones]

They are very strange faces.

[emblazes]

well, one of them's a pumpkin. that's why.

A system of archaic digital ideograms known as "emoji," if memory serves.

[wheresmyfingerbones]

Archaic? It looks new to me.

[Why hello there again.]

Pretty damn weird aren't they? Also, really useful when you don't want to use words.

It's also hilarious if your the type of person who most others wouldn't expect to use such things, though.


My personal favorite is this one: 🔫

[wheresmyfingerbones]

What is that supposed to be?

[ audio (un: k.jones) ; pardon the lateness but they're too salty sea men ]

[assailed]

[ It's difficult to text with with one hand. He's not especially interested in how much time it takes him to compose a thought. Which why he falls back on audio more often than not. ]

They're emojis.

[ Emma's son is old enough to irritate Killian with these bloody things. ]

I bloody well hate the buggers.

audio, more salty men the better!

[wheresmyfingerbones]

They seem useful enough.
