Types of emoticons and their meaning. What does the emoticon displayed in text characters mean, codes of graphic (emoji) emoticons

When talking with a person live, you can easily express your emotions on your face and the interlocutor will immediately understand what you feel or want to say. However, in our time, communication through various social networks is gaining more and more popularity. And in order to make communication as convenient and colorful as possible, we came up with smilies.

They are stylized graphic images, namely, a cartoon face expressing various emotions, such as joy, anger, anger, admiration and others. Thanks to this, you can very easily understand the mood of a person and shorten your message at times, which makes communication more exciting. Also, if you managed to somehow contact a foreigner, but you do not know the language that he speaks, then emoticons will be of great help, since they are international means of communication.

A bit of history

In the 17th century in Slovakia, emoticons were used to convey positive emotions. The eccentric play "In Futurum", written by Erwin Schulhoff in 1919, contains 4 emoticons that convey different emotions. The film "Port City" also stood out with a smiley, only he expressed excruciating despair.

The stylized image was used in the films Lily (1953) and Goo (1958). It was no longer an expression of sorrow, but an expression of happiness. The image of emoticons continues to be popularized and various well-known companies and brands do not hesitate to use them in their everyday life. They are used in many films and TV shows, including Forest Gump. Also, from 2005 to 2013, the smiley becomes the emblem of the All-Russian Youth Forum Seliger.

Just don't forget put a space between words and emoticons, otherwise VKontakte will not recognize them. You were probably confused by the fact that VKontakte interprets emoticons into pictures. The whole point is that Emoji- these are characters of any Unicode font that exists on any gadget. A text emoticons is an informal interpretation of Emoji.

How to insert emoticons into VK status

There are several options for inserting emoticons into a status.

Decoding of the main emoticons

This table contains frequently used emoticons on VKontakte. For new users or just for those who want to get to know this topic better, this will be a great helper.

An emoticon is a set of characters, or an icon, that is a visual representation of a facial expression or body position to convey a mood, attitude, or emotion, originally used in email and text messages. The most famous is the smiling face emoticon, i.e. smile - :-) .

There is no clear and reliable evidence about who invented the smiley face. Of course, one can point to ancient excavations, finds of various inscriptions on 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 an 1881 copy of the American magazine Puck, see example:

Yes, there are a lot of such examples in history, but it is generally accepted that the researcher at Carnegie Mellon University, Scott Fahlman, was responsible for the first digital form of the smiley. He suggested distinguishing serious messages from non-serious ones by using emoticons :-) and :-(. It was already September 19, 1982. This is especially useful when the mood of your message can be misinterpreted.

YES, BUT YOU NEVER COME ON TIME, ANYWAY.

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

However, 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' father, Franklin Laufrani. It was he, being a journalist in the French newspaper France Soir, who published an article on January 1, 1972, under the heading "Take time to smile!", where he used emoticons to highlight his article. Later, he patented it as a 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 son Nicolas Laufrani became CEO.

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

Around the same time in Japan, Shigetaka Kurita began designing emoticons for I-mode. But unfortunately, the wide application of this project did not happen. Maybe because in 2001, Laufrani's creation was licensed by Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, and other mobile phone manufacturers, who later began to offer them to their users. After that, the world was simply flooded with various interpretations of emoticons and emoticons.

The following variations with smilies and emoticons became the appearance stickers in 2011. They were created by the leading Internet company from Korea - Naver. The company has developed a messaging platform called - line. A similar messaging app like WhatsApp. LINE was developed within months of the 2011 Japanese tsunami. Initially, LIne was created in order 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, there were already more than 400 million, which later became one of the most popular apps in Japan, particularly among teenagers.

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

Emoticons in the tables will be gradually replenished, so go to the site and look for the meaning of the desired emoticons.

People who actively communicate on the Internet have their own system of signs for conveying emotions. They are called emoticons or emoticons. Now we will figure out what these signs are and learn how to understand them.

A smiley (smiley) is an opportunity to convey a certain emotion in a letter. To do this, use several punctuation marks or the corresponding picture.

There are two types of signs most commonly used. Funny:

And sad:

They are made with a colon and an open or closed parenthesis (no space between them). Also, some use a variant with a hyphen or an equals sign in the middle. For example,

:-) or :=)

And there are all sorts of other more sophisticated emoticons, but more on that later.

What does it mean

Actually, a smiley is such a bun:

He may smile, be sad, surprised, angry, or experience other emotions.

Such pictures are "embedded" in different communication systems: in mobile phones, e-mails, social networks, some programs (for example, in Skype).

The principle is simple: you type a message and add a suitable face to it. After sending, the recipient sees both the text and this picture.

Skype chat example:

But not everywhere such pictures can be used - very often they cannot technically be inserted. And sometimes it's just not very convenient. Then they are replaced by a set of characters.

What to remember. There are two main emoticons from the signs - cheerful :) and sad :(

And also quite often nedosmily are used - they consist of only one bracket, without other characters. They are usually used by very sociable people or those who type quickly (to save time).

Often not one bracket is used, but several. Sometimes there are too many of them.

How to decrypt. Actually, a smiley, consisting of signs, is a face turned on its side. That is, to see it as it was intended, you need to mentally rotate this sign 90 degrees clockwise. Or look at him, tilting his head to the left - as if resting on his left shoulder.

Take, for example, the usual cheerful emoticon:

Rotate it 90 degrees clockwise and get the following picture:

That is, we get, as it were, two eyes and a smile. Here is its analogue in the picture:

But emoticons do not always need to be rotated to decipher the meaning. Some need to be looked at normally (directly). For example:

(^_^)

The essence of the emoticon

In personal communication, we convey a lot not only in words, but also in the intonation with which we speak them. As well as facial expressions, gestures, posture.

You can say the same word with a different “shade” - playfully, indignantly, sadly. Thus, not only the mood is transmitted, but the meaning of the message can also change radically.

We also use other non-verbal things that “explain” our mood and state to the interlocutor. We laugh, we sigh, we cry.

But if there is no way to talk to a person in person, but you need to convey some kind of emotion, then you have to refine yourself.

Previously, when all communication at a distance was only through paper letters, people simply used more words for this. The letters were long and emotional. But now, in the period of affordable mobile communications and the Internet, emoticons are used for this purpose.

Why? Yes, because it's easy and fast. Just a couple of signs - and the proposal is already colored by a certain mood. And sometimes you can completely change its meaning.

How to use correctly

As for writing. A full-fledged emoticon must be separated from the text by a space. There is no punctuation mark after it. It is advisable to start the next sentence on a new line, and not continue the text.

Under-smilies can not be separated from the text by a space:

Regarding the use. In personal correspondence with people who know you well, you can use any emoticons in any quantity. The main thing is that a person is normal about this and understands what you mean.

But in business correspondence it is better not to use them at all. Or do it extremely rarely, if without it nowhere.

For example, I am talking to a business partner. He informs me that one of the workers is delaying the deadline. This did not come as a surprise to me - this worker has repeatedly said one thing and done another. Here's how the conversation goes:

Of course, I could write something like: “From the very beginning, I thought that Andrey would delay the deadlines, since this has already happened repeatedly. Therefore, I am completely calm - this situation only makes me smile. But this is not very appropriate, and it is too long.

Nowadays, in business correspondence, it is customary to answer briefly and to the point, without lyrical digressions.

That is, in business correspondence, emoticons should be used very, very rarely, if it is really necessary.

Exception: when communication takes place on an equal footing, and not from the position of a boss / subordinate (doctor / patient), then if your interlocutor actively uses emoticons, I recommend doing the same. Otherwise, he may consider you aggressive (unfriendly).

For example, you are writing a letter to a person who does not know you. You should not flavor this letter with smiles - it is advisable not to use them at all.

What are

People came up with a huge number of them - both in pictures and in signs.

For example, here are some pictures (taken from the Skype program):

As you can see, among them there are not only koloboks with different moods. But this is not all that is invented and used. On the forums, for example, there are several times more such pictures.

As for emoticons from signs, this is more difficult. They are also very, very many, but it is often not so easy to determine what they mean. And it is pointless to study their decoding, since it differs in different cultures and subcultures. So now I'll just show you the most common ones.

Here are variations of the classic fun smiley:

:}	:]	:v)	:-j	:n)	}:-)	:-9
%)	:o)	:^)	IN-)	:u)	@:-)	:*)
=)	:0)	8)	:->	{:-)	[:-)	ABOUT-)

If you turn the bracket in the other direction, then the meaning will change vice versa - it will become sad. And if instead of a colon there is a semicolon (or just a period / comma), then he winks:

And here are the angry emojis:

:-/ >:-(>:-[ :-C

Show language:

There is another kind of "faces" - Japanese. These icons do not need to be rotated to decipher. That is, we look at them as they are, without tilting the head. Here are some examples:

(^_^) or ^_^ fun, joy

(;_;) (T_T) sadness, sadness

o_O (@@) surprise

Here is a transcript of popular Japanese emoticons (click on the picture to enlarge):

I have given the most common "faces" of the signs. But there are hundreds and thousands more.

Use on health, but do not abuse. Everything is good in moderation!

The article will talk about what the emoticon means and what they are. It is worth noting that emoticons have long entered our lives and have become well established in it, because they, like nothing else, can convey the emotions and feelings of a person.

There are people who communicate regularly using emoticons, because with the development of progress there are already animated emoticons that can wave, wink, jump and change colors.

There are several emoji alphabets, the most common are standard And Japanese. Japanese emoticons are distinguished by the fact that they pay more attention to the eyes, and standard emoticons - to the mouth.

The history of emoticons

Today, almost no private letter on the Internet is complete without emoticons. Some people get offended if a friend doesn't put a colon and a right parenthesis at the end of a letter. Of course, this is stupid, but emoticons are already so closely connected with our lives.

It may seem to modern children that emoticons have always existed, but in fact, for the first time, an emoticon was drawn Harvey Bell- an artist by training. In the early sixties, there was a war between insurers in America. Employees were afraid to get laid off and, in order to cheer themselves up and each other, they were distracted and tried to communicate politely and friendly with the remaining customers.

One insurance company, in order to stay afloat, decided to hold a promotion for which they needed an interesting drawing. In late 1963, they approached Harvey with this request. He drew the first smiley :-) , which took him ten minutes to develop. He was paid mere pennies for the drawing: $43. He did not know then that his simple drawing would become so popular, so he did not issue any rights to it. Harvey's first emojis were pinned and given out to customers. People liked these cute smiles so much that the company re-applied to the artist and ordered another ten thousand smileys.

Another story that played an important role in the development of the smiley can be called the seventies, when brothers from Spain developed the slogan " Happy day!". Since that time, emoticons began to be depicted on clothes. In 1971 the FrenchFranklin Loufrani The smiley has been trademarked in 80 countries.

And the first electronic Emoticons appeared in the sixties of the last century. Then emoticons were used in encoding Unicode. In 1982, Microsoft decided to create emoticons that could show emotions.

What do emoticons mean decoding

These are the most common emoticons, the designation of which many people know.

Smile and grief emoticon

The smile and grief emoticon, presented first in the table, has often changed and transformed over time. When people began to use emoticons in communication, it consisted of eyes, nose and mouth. Then the nose disappeared. And the eyes began to be drawn not with dashes, but simply with dots. Many are familiar when the smiley had only one eye - .) , and then he disappeared, to show a smile or sadness, people put only brackets. To show joy or sadness, many brackets are put. If we are talking about strong disappointment, then it can be shown like this - ((( or so - :WITH.

What do emoticons mean in Vkontakte

On the social network VK There are two types of emoticons, these are the standard ones that were discussed above, and the voluminous ones offered by the service itself. For the past three years, VKontakte users have been able to use emoticons, since only in August 2012 such an opportunity was added to communicate in personal correspondence. Until that time, Vkontakte users had to independently compose the designation of emotions from punctuation marks. But the developers have made it easy for them: the user can open the menu of emoticons and select the one that describes his state.

Initially, about thirty emoticons appeared on the network, but after a while another hundred were added, which depicted not only emotions, but also the actions of people, as well as food and animals. But due to the wide variety of emoticons, people's communication becomes not always clear. Not all people understand the meaning of this or that emoticon, or understand it differently. To avoid such situations with you, you need to write a few words in addition to the smiley so that the interlocutor understands you.

popular VKontakte emoticons the following can be named:

• :ok - all is well;
• -: o - fear;
• -3(- sadness;
• -8) - love;
• -:] - stupid smile.

Also in VK there are hidden emoticons that can be sent to users by pressing a few keys. But the disadvantage of such emoticons is that they are black and therefore repel many users.

The most common commands include the following:

• ALT+ 1 - white emoticon denoting a smile ☺
• ALT+2 - black smile: ☻
• ALT+3 - love heart:
• ALT+ 11 - male character: ♂
• ALT+12 - female character: ♀
• ALT+13 - melody:♪
• ALT+15 - sun: ☼

In order for the symbol to appear in the message, you need to:

1. Hold down the "Alt" key on your keyboard
2. Dial a number combination
3. Release the Alt key

What does emoticon 3 mean

The table above showed this emoticon and said that it means tenderness. But it is worth dwelling on its decoding in more detail, since it is not understood by many. This symbol is associated with such animals as a dog and a cat. And indeed, if you look closely, it seems to be similar to the muzzle of an animal. In another way, this emoticon stands for " cute"- that's how you can characterize any cute animal.

Do not confuse this emoticon with <3 , which means heart.

Many people and smiley :3 consider it a kiss, but they are mistaken because it means not quite a kiss, namely cuteness.

There was a period of time when this emoticon was read from a mathematical point of view, and it meant nothing more than divide by 3. But this is a comic version that did not take root among Internet users for a long time.

Emoticons denoting actions

As mentioned above, emoticons can replace a person's written speech and whole expressions. After all, their collection is constantly replenished, and soon people will be able to communicate with only one emoticon. Below will be presented a few emoticons, meaning human actions.

	Smiley designation	Decryption
		Loud laugh
		Listen to music with headphones
		wave your hand
	(>^_^)(^_^<)	Hug
		go crazy

As we can see from the table, you can use emoticons to talk about even your actions and desires. Some social networks have emoticons that mean that a person is reading a book, relaxing, eating or playing ball.

We examined in detail what emoticons mean, how they can be used to express actions and emotions. In a few years they may replace written language. After all, it is much easier for people to put a smiley than to write for a long time and explain to a person what he is doing or what emotion he is showing at the moment.

Video with decryption of emoticons

What do emoticons mean? How to decrypt them? These are the questions guys ask when they first get on social media. After all, emoticons in social networks, as well as in VK, are a traditional and simple way to express long phrases in one picture.

A person is not always able to express his emotions through familiar words, sometimes even the most beautiful phrases do not reflect the essence of the conversation. And then the thread of the conversation is lost, because the interlocutor, who is on the other side of the screen, is also by no means a telepath and does not read thoughts.
Online correspondence is a special type of conversation in which, just like in a personal meeting, emotions and the ability to express them play a big role. The opponent cannot see facial expressions, hand movements, does not hear surprised or interrogative intonations. This is where emoticons come in handy.

Any social network provides its users with a truly huge selection of emoticons for all occasions. And we will mainly focus on VK. Since mostly children and teenagers sit there, as well as some young parents, it will be interesting to learn about emoticons in VK.

What do emoticons mean? These symbols help to clearly and harmoniously describe the necessary state, express an emotional reaction and get rid of a lack of vocabulary.

Most social networks, as well as any other resources for interactive communication, have in their arsenal a certain number of so-called hidden emoticons. Most users simply do not know about such a function, since the administration of the communities themselves deliberately does not disseminate such information. And yet - they are, there are a lot of them, and they are absolutely free!

Each of the emoticons has a certain symbolic code that belongs only to him. Therefore, in order to send such a smiley to a friend, you need to write this very code to the clipboard, or copy it directly into the message being sent. So, where can you get these secret signs to diversify your Internet lexicon with them?

A little lower in this article, the main codes will be given, and by registering them, anyone will receive unique emotions and action designations. It is also important that these emoticons are suitable for sending not only in private messages, but also for comments on photos, videos and other posts of friends. In the standard set of faces that open during communication, this function is not provided. Hidden emoticons can even be put down in the status, the main thing is to know what this or that sign means.

Inserting the required character into your text is quite easy - the combination Ctrl + V or the mouse menu item "Paste" will help with this.

Even some ten years ago, everyone actively used ICQ. Over time, more modern programs replaced this method of communication, but the emoticons that were in ICQ took root in everyday life and fell in love with a lot of people. How to get exactly those very first and most positive emoticons? If the skill allows, then you can install a special application, for example, “Vkopt” or “vkPlugin”. Each of them has its own catalog of emoticons, about thirty unique images, from good-natured and laughing to angry and sarcastic. In addition to the standard yellow faces, the applications will delight you with cheerful blue ones.

Of course, emoticons will not replace live communication with your peers and friends, but they are able to decorate online dialogues with incredible colors of emotions and understanding. It is simply impossible to allow communication to be reduced only to the exchange of symbols, even if they are eloquent, and sometimes you are just too lazy to write a capacious and detailed answer. If writing is completely unbearable - agree with the interlocutor and create a smiley comic, the meaning of which will be available only to two. Abusing emoticons is ugly, expressing your opinion with funny symbols is modern and relevant.

How does a sticker from VKontakte differ from a conventional emoticon

Recently, VKontakte has been offering us a lot of new stickers, some of them are free, while others will have to be paid with real money.

What is a sticker? This is a big picture on a given topic: cats, faces, people, fruits and vegetables, cars and others. They are available in the usual smiley menu, which opens to any user during correspondence. But the developers of the site, most of the stickers open access only for money.

Sometimes thematic collections come out for free access, but really cool and individual ones are not included in this list. These paid stickers can be obtained in three ways: pay for them, ask a friend for stickers as a gift, or download the appropriate plugin. The third method is the most logical and fastest, besides, extensions will allow you to attach stickers not only to messages, but also add them to comments.

The choice of such programs is so wide that it simply does not make sense to list them all here. Each of us can "google" and choose the extension that will fit his operating system.

If during a conversation in the dialogue field when you click on a sticker from the plug-in, only its digital code appears - do not panic, when sending the interlocutor, the picture itself will be displayed. This is a peculiar feature of the work of such add-on programs.
