The You Game!

< will look into that faulty smiley later, though < thinks it’s not an actual emoji but an older character.

<’s getting the emoji when Googling that character:

[Hunchman801]

< sees that for some reason it showed up fine in Fifo’s post, so it’s probably a different character anyway.

[Steo]

< is down in the kitchen to make tea so < is on <'s phone

Yeah it was just a normal smile like this one but with open eyes and closed mouth unlike the emoji Fifo posted

[Hunchman801]

< wonders what your phone is, Aaron.

[Aaron]

That emoji is on my tablet but oh well, close enough

Anyway, my tablet is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4.

[The Jonster]

< will be posting later on <'s phone so < can try all the emojis. And not just all the smileys.

[R4Y_ANC3L]

< made a sig since the month of Halloween is getting closer to us.

[The Jonster]

Hm, perhaps < should make a new sig. < hasn’t made one in awhile now hehe.

[Hunchman801]

< could definitely use a new sig too.

[Harpic fraîcheur]

< wouldn't be impressed if ^'s signature theme will be ''PROUD OF MY PRIDE''.

[The Jonster]

< is becoming increasingly more and more paranoid these days, along with the increasing amount of stress < has had for the past 2 weeks now.

[Steo]

<'s eyes are like ouch right now, so < will get some sleep

[The Jonster]

< says at least ^'s eyes aren't bleeding.

<'s aunt had that and had to go through surgery to get them healed. Was a major ouch, though it did get < the driving gig for 2 years. Kinda ironic.

[Steo]

< woke up now and 3:30pm and < still feels tired

< looked it up and it seems that ☺ was originally not an emoji, but another character that predates them (U+263A). It became only later but for some reason in some cases it shows as ☺ and in others as .

[Aaron]

Huh, I didn't even know that! That's interesting.

[PluMGMK]

< thinks the most interesting thing about emoji is that it's a complete coincidence that the word "emoji" is so similar to "emoticon" – the former is a Japanese word that has absolutely no connection to "emotion"!

[Steo]

< wonders why they chose that word then if it doesn't relate

[Ambidextroid]

< believes "emoji" means something along the lines of "picture letter" while "emoticon" is of course emotion and icon. They're basically the same thing and sound similar but the "emo" part is from a totally different root.
