It loos a bit different but both are _, aren't they? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Perhaps you are right. I saw the uptick on the right of amazed mouth and thought it was intended to be a different Unicode. But it looks like they're all ASCII just stylized, so my bad. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lugal@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) Big upvote for admitting your error. In general, emoticons are easy to write with a normal keyboard, otherwise they don't fulfill their job of being useable in normal conversations. Exceptions are few ones that include kana which for Japanese people are easy to write but which were adopted by westerners like the shrug emoticon I have to google each time but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Fun fact: Japanese emoticons are called kaomoji (face characters) and developed independently from western emoticons. Emoji means "picture character" and is etymological unrelated to emoticon or emotion or anything. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 3 points 2 years ago TIL permalink fedilink source parent
