The meaning of emoticons, written in symbols, their decoding, designation and types of emoticons. The meaning of emoticons on the Internet VK emoticons designation of all

The article will talk about what a smiley means and what they are. It is worth noting that emoticons have long entered our life and have become well entrenched 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 smiley alphabets, the most common are standard and japanese... Japanese emoticons are distinguished by the fact that they pay more attention to the eyes, while the standard ones pay more attention to the mouth.

The history of the appearance of emoticons

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

It may seem to modern children that emoticons have always existed, but in fact, for the first time, a smiley was drawn Harvey Bell- artist by education. In the early sixties, there was a war between insurers in America. Employees were afraid of being laid off and, in order to cheer themselves up and each other, they were distracted and tried to communicate politely and affably 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 a mere penny for the drawing: $ 43. Then he did not yet know 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 turned to the artist again and ordered another ten thousand smileys.

Another story that played an important role in the development of the emoticon can be called the seventies, when brothers from Spain developed the slogan " Happy day!”. From that time on, smilies began to be depicted on clothes. In 1971, a FrenchFranklin Lowfrani the smiley trademark was registered in eighty states.

And the first electronic smileys appeared in the sixties of the last century. Then emoticons were used in the encoding Unicode... In 1982, Microsoft decided to create emoticons through which you can express emotions.

3 - this emoticon means a cute face of a cat or "lips with a bow" (cuddly). Options-: 3: = 3: -3

These are the most common emoticons that many people know by designation.

Smiley and sorrow emoticon

The smiley face and grief presented first in the table have often changed and transformed over time. When people began to use emoticons in communication, it consisted of eyes, nose and mouth. Then his nose disappeared somewhere. And the eyes began to draw not with dashes, but simply put dots. Many people know when a smiley had only one eye - .) , and then he disappeared, to show a smile or sadness, people put only parentheses. 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 in VKontakte mean

On the social network VK There are two types of emoticons, these are the standard ones mentioned above, and the voluminous ones offered by the service itself. For three years now, VKontakte users have been able to use emoticons, since only in August 2012 such an opportunity for communication in personal correspondence was added. Until that time, Vkontakte users had to independently compose the designation of emotions from punctuation marks. But the developers made it easier for them: the user can open the smiley menu 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, animals. But due to the large variety of smiles, communication between people becomes not always clear. Not all people understand the meaning of this or that smile, or understand it differently. To prevent such situations from arising with you, you need to write a few words in addition to the smiley so that the interlocutor understands you.

Popular emoticons on VKontakte the following can be named:

• : ok - everything is fine;
• -: o - fear;
• -3 (- sadness;
• -8) - falling in 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 can be considered that they are black and therefore alienate many users.

The most common commands include the following:

• ALT + 1 - white emoticon denoting a smile ☺
• ALT + 2 - Black Smile: ☻
• ALT + 3 - Heart of Love:
• ALT + 11 - male character: ♂
• ALT + 12 - female character: ♀
• ALT + 13 - melody: ♪
• ALT + 15 - Sun: ☼

For the symbol to appear in the message, you need:

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

What does smiley 3 mean

In the table above, this emoticon was given and it was said that it means affection. But it is worthwhile to dwell in more detail on its decoding, since not many people understand it. This symbol is associated with animals such as dogs and cats. Indeed, if you look closely, it looks like an animal's face. In another way, this smiley stands for “ I love "- this is how you can describe any cute animal.

This emoticon should not be confused with <3 , which the means heart.

Many people and smile :3 consider a kiss, but they are mistaken since it does not mean a kiss, namely cuddly.

There was a period of time when this smiley 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.

Action emoticons

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 smile. Below will be presented several emoticons, meaning human actions.

	Smiley designation	Decoding
		Loud laugh
		Listen to music with headphones
		Wave your hand
	(>^_^)(^_^<)	Hug
		Go crazy

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

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

Smiley decryption video

Hello friends. Today's post will be not only useful, but also funny - we will talk about emoticons for the social network Vkontakte. Funny faces and funny pictures have already become an integral part of any communication on the Internet and everyone wants to diversify their texts with new and original ones.

The legs of all emoticons grow out of textual notation, when it was first thought to represent emotions with symbols. For me, the first smiley was a smile symbol, presented in the form of a closing parenthesis ")", the expanded version of the smile designation additionally has a colon ":)" - this spelling is familiar to everyone, almost all online services automatically transform this code into a cheerful smiling face, but it turns out it is not according to Feng Shui GOST Unicode standard.

Unicode is a standard where all letters, numbers, icons, and other printed elements are represented as a unique numeric code. Any device understands this code and displays any symbol correctly. With the Unicode format, you can include any icon in your text, even if it's not on your keyboard. For example, you want to write the hieroglyph “乔”, put its code “𠁒” and you're done.

The widespread use of emoticons led to the fact that many of their codes were included in Unicode, along with other characters and signs.

Of course, social networks have become active consumers of smiles on an industrial scale, Vkontakte is no exception. For the convenience of users, so that people do not have to remember and manually write codes to display certain pictures, Contact uses a tooltip - a special drop-down list where you can visually select the desired smiley and insert it into a message or post on the wall. But this list contains not all smiley codes supported by VK, only the most popular ones (otherwise the list would be too cumbersome).

The rest of the smilies are, as it were, hidden, but they can be easily used knowing the designation code in Unicode. In addition to dialogues and a wall, codes of hidden emoticons can also be used in the status, we will analyze how to make statuses in VK emoticons below.

I would like to reveal the topic of emoji in as much detail as possible, but if this description tires you and you yourself know how to insert everything and you just need to get the necessary codes, go directly to. And with the curious, we will delve a little more into history and other interesting moments.

What emoticons work in VK and what is the peculiarity of Emoji

I briefly mentioned the main reason for the appearance of emoticons at the beginning of the post - this is the need to convey emotions that are difficult or long to describe in words. As soon as the Internet ceased to be a purely business tool and moved into the category of entertainment, the need to express smiles, sadness, and much more began to go off scale. What makes communication alive and humane (facial expressions, gestures) through text is very difficult to convey, not every writer copes with this task perfectly, let alone ordinary people flirting through ICQ.

For example, I cannot imagine how it is possible to convey to the interlocutor in text that I wink at him or show my tongue - it will look stupid and will not produce the desired effect, but a round yellow face with a closed eye or protruding tongue is what the doctor ordered.

The peak of the spread of emoticons coincided with the peak of the development of various communication tools - at first it was ICQ with Skype, then millions of Contact, Odnoklassniki and Facebook users were drawn into their networks, now every smartphone owner hangs out on Viber or WhatsApp every day.

Smilies were not always familiar to us now, but now VK automatically converts the code “:)” into a funny face, initially all the designation went through symbols, the sender of the message wrote a set of squiggles, the recipient received them in the same form, understanding to the best of his knowledge, what is meant. At the initial stage, there were few emoticons, almost all were intuitive or easy to remember. If you look closely, all the basic emoticons look like a face turned to one side.

• Smile - ":)"
• Laughter - ": D"
• Sadness - ":("
• Wink - ";)"
• Indifference - ": - |"
• Cry - “:" (“
• Puzzling - ": - \"
• Astonishment - ": -o"
• Surprise - "= -o"
• Language - ": P"
• Kiss - ": - *"
• Oppression - ": - ["
• Profanity, mat - ": -X"
• Anger - ": - ||"
• Nausea - ":-!"

You probably noticed that the described codes are displayed on Vkontakte not as symbols, but as beautiful pictures. This is because the social network is programmed that the combination of symbols corresponds to the desired emoticon, and in each network the image itself will be slightly different in appearance. The reason for the differences is that such emoticons are not standardized Unicode characters and there is no standard for their display. On the one hand, this allows each service to make creative images with any level of beauty, on the other hand, devices and services that do not support the unofficial encoding of emoticons will not turn them into pictures at all.

But with Unicode characters, the situation is different, emoticons written with this code will be supported everywhere and always. Knowing the codes of emoticons in the Unicode standard, you can insert absolutely any of the almost 1000 emoticons anywhere in the VK, even in the status, even on the wall.

Example:

Smiley Laughter, informally referred to as “: D”, this input format will not be converted to a picture everywhere. The standardized code for this emoji from Unicode is “😄”, it will be displayed as a 😄 icon on all devices.

But Unicode characters have one peculiarity - they are all simple and black and white. And to make them beautiful and colorful, emoji were invented. Each emoji icon corresponds to its own Unicode symbol. In fact, these are the same unicode characters, only displayed differently on devices that support emoji. If there is no emoji support, then emoticons will still be shown, only with simple icons. Probably confused you, it's better to give an example:

Emoji are emoticons written according to the Unicode standard, but displayed with brighter and more colorful pictures from a special library, if this library is connected on the site or service.

Vkontakte Emoji library is included, so all emoticons on the social network are colorful and beautiful.

How to put an emoticon in VK status?

The above educational program about emoticons and emoji was carried out for a reason, after it it should become clear to you why writing in the form of a colon with a parenthesis does not lead to the appearance of a smiley smile, but remains in the form of a code - this is not a standard.

Sound familiar?

For the appearance of the desired smiley, you need to write not “:)”, but “😄”.

Now step by step.

Step 1. Open the status editor

In order to put the emoticon in the VK status, go to your page (the top item of the panel on the left “My page”) and under the name, click the link “change status”:

Step 2. Copy the desired emoticon

A field for editing will appear, in it you can write any text and add any smile. Recently, support for a tooltip with a standard set of emoticons has been introduced in the Vkontakte status - if among them there is what you need to choose, if not and the desired emoticon belongs to the category of hidden, then there are two ways:

Step 3. Insert a smiley into the status text

Both the insertion of the emoticon code and its unicode character will work. Just note that the smiley code must start with an ampersand and a pound sign and end with a semicolon, otherwise VK will not convert it into a picture.

• Correct: “😄”
• Incorrect: "128516"

Step 4. Save

How to insert hidden emoticons into messages, discussions and on the VK wall

I will not open America in this matter. Anyone who has used Contact at least once knows that when the mouse cursor is placed in the field for writing text on the wall or in the field for discussing a post, an icon appears on the right, revealing a huge list of emoticons - you can choose any from it.

For private messages, this list is even larger, since it includes several bookmarks - individual emoticons for VK (some of them are paid, but for reasonable money, although I see no reason to pay, especially since you can get any emoticon you need from the unicode table ).

However, not all emoji supported by Unicode are included in all of these lists. In total, VK shows about 500 different smilies, the rest (almost the same) remain overboard among the hidden ones. That is, they are not that they are hidden, the social network simply considers these smilies not important and not popular, therefore it does not display them in the gallery, and their work is supported in the same way as in the status bar. And the algorithm for inserting hidden emoticons is similar:

All you need to use hidden emoticons is to have their standard codes at hand. Below I will give a table of codes, so add the link to this article to your bookmarks so that in the future you will not look for codes for the necessary pictures for a long time.

Emoticon code table for VK

When inserting emoticon codes in Vkontakte, it is imperative to use opening and closing symbols - the smiley begins with () and ends with (;). In other places, you can find codes in their pure form, without these symbols, the codes themselves are correct, but they will not work in VK unless the indicated designations are added.

Some emoticons look like squares when inserted, but do not be alarmed, after saving and updating the VK page, it will transform them into beautiful pictures.

For comfort when searching for the desired picture, all smilies are grouped into semantic sections, in order to immediately go to the desired section, click on the name of the required category from the list:

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

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 somehow managed to contact a foreigner, but you do not know the language in which he speaks, then emoticons will be of great help, since they are international a 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 Schulhof in 1919, contains 4 emoticons that convey different emotions. The film "Port City" also stood out with a smile, only he expressed excruciating despair.

The stylized image was used in the films Lily (1953) and Jizhi (1958). It was no longer an expression of sorrow, but an expression of happiness. The image of smiles is further 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 series, including Forest Gump. Also, from 2005 to 2013, the smile becomes the emblem of the Seliger All-Russian Youth Forum.

Basic emoticons and their meaning

• 🙂 - means smile at the interlocutor
• 🙂 — smile, but only with a lazy interlocutor
• ) — smile a very lazy or very tired interlocutor
• ,-) - means wink
• 😉 - also wink
• :- > — sarcasm
• (-: - also means smile, only differs from the first in that it is left-handed
• 🙁 - expresses sadness
• : < - expresses even more sadness than the previous
• :WITH- also sadness

Emoticons are so firmly embedded in our lives that without them the alphabet looks incomplete, and the messages seem dry and detached. But even in such a frivolous and childishly simple matter, like placing emoji, there are subtleties.

What do the different smilies mean?

With smiley objects, everything is simple: they mean what they represent. A ball is a ball, an alarm clock is an alarm clock, and there is nothing to think about. But with smiley faces, the task becomes more complicated. We do not always manage to correctly guess the emotions from the faces of living people, let alone the physiognomy of the koloboks. There are emoticons, the meaning of which is obvious:

Fun, laughter, joy, jubilation.

Sadness, sadness, longing, discontent.

Playful mood, teasing.

Surprise, amazement, shock, fear.

Anger, resentment, rage.

And a few more similar ones - all possible options for families and romantic unions.

But there are some among the emoticons, the meaning of which can be interpreted ambiguously, or even bewildered:

This emoticon depicts a person sobbing at three - well, at two - streams, but in the version for Apple devices, due to raised eyebrows and a mouth that is not twisted from sobs, he is often perceived as laughing to tears. Be careful with him: you want to indicate grief to them, but they will misunderstand you.

This emoticon is intended to represent silence. Instead, he just scares to death.

If everything is more or less clear with the evil devil ("evil as devil"), then the cheerful devil is somewhat puzzling. Most likely, he is not only furious, but also anticipates how he will dance on your opponent's grave. And you, perhaps, just wanted to show originality and an unusual smile.

Despite the fact that the three wise monkeys saw nothing, did not hear and did not speak precisely because of their wisdom, these muzzles close their eyes, mouth and ears from shame, confusion and shock.

A set of feline emoticons for those who think that ordinary koloboks are not expressive enough and want to add sweetness to their emotions.

Instead of "hello" and "goodbye" you can wave your hand.

Hands raised, a gesture of joyful greeting or glee.

The applause is both sincere and sarcastic.

If in this picture you see hands folded in a prayer gesture, then for you emoji can mean "thank you" or "I beg you." Well, if you see the "high five!"

A raised index finger can emphasize the importance of the message or express a request to interrupt the interlocutor with a question, or it can simply point to the previous message in the chat.

Fingers crossed for good luck.

For some it is "stop", but for someone "high five!"

No, this is not a truffle. Not even a truffle at all.

Ogre and Japanese goblin. It seems that someone is missing the usual devils.

Lier. His nose grows like Pinocchio's every time he lies.

These are eyes wide open in amazement, and the shifting eyes of a rogue, and even a lustful look. If someone sends you such an emoticon in the comments to the photo, you can be sure that the photo is successful.

And this is just an eye, and it is watching you.

A young moon and a full moon. It seems to be nothing special, but these smileys have their fans who appreciate them for their creepy facial expressions.

A very common girl in purple. Her gestures mean OK (hands over head), "no" (arms crossed), "hello" or "I know the answer" (hand up). This character has another pose that baffles many -. According to the official version, it symbolizes the help desk worker. Apparently, she shows with her hand how to get to the city library.

Do you also see two tense faces here, presumably unfriendly? But they didn't guess: according to Apple's tips, this is an embarrassed face and a stubborn face. Who would have thought!

By the way, tips for emoticons can be viewed in the message window on, if you open an emoji and hover the cursor over the emoticon you are interested in. Like this:

Another way to find out the meaning of an emoticon is to ask emojipedia.org for help. On it you will find not only detailed interpretations of emoticons, but you can also see how the same emoticon looks on different platforms. Many unexpected discoveries await you.

Where are emoticons appropriate?

1. In informal friendly correspondence

Funny yellow faces are appropriate in a personal chat, where you share not so much information as your mood. With the help of emoticons, you will laugh at a joke, sympathize, make faces at each other. This is where emotions really belong.

2. When emotions are overflowing and words are not enough

Sometimes, when something very important happens in our life, feelings overwhelm us so that we are about to burst. Then we write an emotional post on Facebook or post a dazzling photo on Instagram and decorate it with a generous scattering of emoticons. Someone, of course, will not like it, but what now, stifle all the vivid sensations in yourself? The main thing is not to abuse such a public manifestation of violent emotions: it will alienate subscribers and question your adequacy.

3. By agreement to highlight a message in work correspondence

This is a very simple and convenient way to make important messages that require urgent attention visible. For example, great for these purposes. But you need to agree in advance which cases in your company are considered urgent and which smiley you will use for this.

It is important not to overdo it: if you have one emoticon for emergency messages, the second for urgent questions, and the third for important news, then soon all work correspondence will turn into a New Year's garland that no one is looking at.

When is it better to do without emoticons

1. In business correspondence

Work is not a place for emotions. Here you are required to be calm, collected and professional. Even if you want to emphasize your benevolence or express concern about the situation, use emoticons for these purposes, not emoticons.

2. When dealing with foreigners

This is especially true of emoji gestures. For example, someone you wanted to show your approval to will end your good relationship with someone from Greece or Thailand. Still, because with this gesture you sent him to hell.

Therefore, if you are not sure of your deep knowledge of the peculiarities of the national culture of your interlocutor, do not risk it.

3. Oddly enough, when you discuss feelings and emotions

Feelings are serious business. If you are not just chatting, but opening your soul or sharing something important, words will convey your feelings and experiences much more accurately than emoticons. “You are dearer to me than anyone else in the world” means much more than ten hearts in a row. In the end, you have only one heart, so give it.

Remember, emojis are a condiment, not a main ingredient. To give expressiveness to your message, you need very few of them.

Emoji language

Judging by the fact that today almost no personal correspondence is complete without emoticons, we can safely say that emoji have become an independent section of the language. Sometimes they even pretend to replace the language: you can write a whole message using only emoticons. The popular American TV show Ellen DeGeneres even has a special section in which guests are invited to read a phrase where part of the words are replaced with emoji:

And here is the encrypted name of the film, which we invite you to guess.
