Meanings of emoticons in contact. Emoticons that depict objects

Sometimes words alone are not enough to express feelings. In such cases, when communicating on social networks, we turn to emoji. Winking “emoticons” and other symbols appeared back in 1999, but they only recently won great love among users. Despite the fact that almost everyone uses them, the meanings of some pictures are not entirely clear.

For example, two palms clasped together can be interpreted in different ways - perhaps they symbolize prayer, but it is also possible that these are two people greeting each other with the words “High Five”. How to understand the meaning of certain emojis? We bring to your attention a few tips that will help you independently understand the meaning of emoticons on iPhone, iPad and macOS.

Examples of the meaning of emoticons Emoji

Many users mistake this picture for a crying face. In fact, the drop is not a tear, but sweat, meaning relief after the excitement experienced.

Don't be fooled, this is not a nut at all, but a roasted sweet potato.

What appears at first glance to be a pyramid of ping-pong balls is actually a “harvest festival card,” symbolizing a Japanese traditional ceremony that occurs during the Tsukimi festival.

If you think it's an acorn, you're wrong. It's actually a chestnut.

This picture should not be used as greeting card, since it is nothing more than a bookmark.

This gesture means “OK” and indicates that everything is fine with you.

Raised palms do not mean an appeal to higher powers, but symbolize joy.

This “smiley” means severe irritation and a nervous state. Many users mistakenly use it to express contempt.

What looks like a black cube actually symbolizes the Muslim shrine of the Kaaba located in Mecca.

No, this girl does not have deer antlers growing on her head. They just give her a facial massage.

Often users resort to this picture when they want to express denial of something, but in fact it symbolizes the person at the information board.

This is not a dance move at all, as it may seem, but open arms.

This boy didn't hide or think. Believe it or not, he bows.

A smiley face without a mouth symbolizes silence. However, it is often used to express confusion, even fear, and is sometimes used as a "Kolobok" character.

You might think it's fire, but it's actually a name badge.

This sign is not a fancy image of a house at all, but a symbol of anger.

The picture below appeared with the release of iOS 10.2. Some people might see a glass of whiskey here, but in reality it's just a glass.

This symbol does not mean ordinary laughter, but hysterical laughter, when the laugher literally rolls on the floor.

This image can be interpreted as both a jellyfish and an umbrella, but Apple believes that this is what the oriental furin bell looks like, ringing in the wind.

Do not confuse this symbol with the panic button. It's actually a trackball.

You shouldn’t look for hidden meaning in this sign, because it’s just a hole.

It may seem that this guy is none other than the legendary Ziggy Stardust performed by British artist David Bowie. Despite the similar makeup, this is just a symbol of any singer.

Greetings, friends. Today's post will be not only useful, but also fun - we'll 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 emojis grow out of text symbols, when it was first invented to indicate emotions using symbols. For me, the first emoticon was the smile symbol, presented in the form of a closing bracket “)”; the expanded version of the smile symbol additionally has a colon “:)” - this spelling is familiar to everyone, almost everyone online services automatically transform this code into a cheerful smiling face, but it turns out that this is not according to the Feng Shui GOST Unicode standard.

Unicode is a standard where all letters, numbers, icons and other printable elements are represented as a unique digital code. This code is understood by any device and displays any symbol correctly. With Unicode, you can include any icon in your text, even if it's not on your keyboard. For example, if you want to write the hieroglyph “乔”, enter its code “𠁒” and you’re done.

The widespread use of emoticons has led to many of their codes being included in Unicode, along with other symbols and characters.

Of course, social networks have become active consumers of emoticons 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 emoticon and insert it into a message or post on the wall. But this list does not contain all the emoticon codes supported by VK, only the most popular ones (otherwise the list would be too cumbersome).

The rest of the emoticons are, as it were, hidden, but they can be easily used if you know the designation code in Unicode. In addition to dialogues and walls, codes hidden emoticons can also be used in status; we will discuss how to make statuses in VK with emoticons below.

I would like to cover the topic of emoji in as much detail as possible, but if this description bores you and you yourself know how to insert everything and you just need to get required codes, go straight to . And for the curious, we will delve a little deeper into history and others interesting points.

What emoticons work in VK and what is special about Emoji

Briefly about main reason I mentioned the appearance of emoticons at the beginning of the post - this is the need to convey emotions that are difficult or take a long time 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. It is very difficult to convey what makes communication alive and humane (facial expressions, gestures) through text; not every writer copes with this task perfectly, let alone ordinary people flirting via ICQ.

For example, I can’t imagine how you can convey to your interlocutor by text that I’m winking at him or sticking my tongue out at him - it will look stupid and won’t produce the desired effect, but a round yellow face with with one eye closed or with your tongue hanging out, just what the doctor ordered.

The peak of emoji distribution coincided with the peak of development various instruments communication - at first it was ICQ and 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.

Emoticons were not always the usual pictures for us now, but now VK automatically converts the code “:)” into a cheerful face, initially the entire designation was 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 their knowledge, what is meant. At the initial stage, there were few emoticons; almost all of them were intuitive or easy to remember. If you look closely, all the main emoticons look like a face turned to one side.

Smile - ":)"
Laughter – “:D”
Sadness - ":("
Wink – “;)”
Indifference – “:-|”
Cry – “:"(“
Puzzled – “:-\”
Amazement – “:-o”
Surprise – “=-o”
Language – “:P”
Kiss – “:-*”
Constriction – “:-[“
Profanity, swearing – “:-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 matches 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 characters from Unicode and there is no standard for their display. On the one hand, this allows each service to create creative images with any level of beauty, on the other hand, devices and services that do not support the unofficial encoding of emoticons into pictures will not turn them into pictures at all.

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

Example:

The Laughter emoticon is informally designated as “:D”; this input format will not be converted into an image everywhere. The standardized Unicode code for this emoji is “😄” and will appear 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 a different Unicode character. Essentially 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. I 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.

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

How to put an emoticon in VK status?

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

Is this a familiar picture?

For the desired emoticon to appear, you need to write not “:)”, but “😄”.

Now step by step.

Step 1. Open the status editor

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

Step 2. Copy the desired emoticon

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

Step 3. Insert an emoticon into the status text

Both inserting the emoticon code and its Unicode character will work. Just note that the smiley code must begin with an ampersand and a hash 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

to America this issue I won't open it. Anyone who has used Contact at least once knows that when you place the mouse cursor in the field for writing text on a wall or in the field for discussing a post, an icon appears on the right that reveals a huge list of emoticons - you can choose any one from it.

For personal messages, this list is even longer, since it includes several bookmarks - individual emoticons for VK (some of them are paid, but for reasonable money, although I don’t see the point in paying, especially since you can get any emoticon you need from the Unicode table ).

But, all these lists do not include all emoji characters supported by Unicode. In total, VK shows about 500 different emoticons, the rest (almost the same number) are left out as hidden ones. That is, they are not that hidden, just social network considers these emoticons to be unimportant and unpopular, and therefore does not display them in the gallery, and their operation is supported in the same way as in the status line. And the algorithm for inserting hidden emoticons is similar:

All you need to use hidden emoticons is to have them on hand standard codes. I will provide a table of codes below, so please add a link to this article Bookmark it so you don’t have to search for codes for the right pictures for a long time in the future.

Table of emoticon codes for VK

When inserting emoticon codes on VKontakte, it is mandatory to use opening and closing characters - the emoticon 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 if you do not add the indicated symbols.

Some emoticons look like squares when inserted, but don’t be alarmed, after saving and updating the page, VK will convert them into beautiful pictures.

For comfort when searching the desired picture, all emoticons are grouped into semantic sections so that you can immediately go to required section, click on the name of the required category from the list:

Emoticons from symbols meet lately very often. And rightly so, because another more universal and fast way displaying your emotions and experiences during text correspondence- does not exist. Today, almost everyone knows at least two or three sets of symbols that represent emotions. This set includes parentheses to show a person's lips, colons to show a person's eyes, and a semicolon to show a wink. However, you may come across an emoji written in symbols and not understand its meaning. This article will help you get closer to understanding text emoticons and remember combinations of symbols to display your emotions in text correspondence.

Even modern written speech is not endowed with the properties of quickly displaying emotions, so that at the time of writing the text the author could show the experiences he was experiencing. Only using a couple of sentences or phrases. Before the era of the global spread of the Internet, there were no problems with displaying the emotional component of the writer. Only with the advent of the Internet and increasing communication through writing text messages in chats, instant messengers, forums, and so on, such problems appeared. It would be inappropriate to write in a message that you are now smiling or winking at your interlocutor - it would look more like absurdity, and if there is no emotional component at all, then the result will be a dry and callous dialogue.

When communicating in real time, it is not possible to select words to display emotions. You can use a question mark for a question, an exclamation mark for admiration, but how can you show your seriousness to your interlocutor or that you were joking? All these problems were solved in the early 80s. Then it was proposed to add the symbols colon, dash and closing bracket to humorous messages, that is :-) — text version smiling face (side view). This set of symbols is a smiling emoticon. Subsequently, the dash and then the colon were no longer used and they were simply written as a closing parenthesis ) .

For messages that are filled with sadness and worry, it was proposed to attribute the set text characters colon, dash and opening parenthesis, that is :-(. This set of text symbols shows a face with eyes, a nose and downturned corners of the lips. As with a joyful, smiling emoticon, in sad smiley subsequently they stopped writing the symbols colon and dash, and began to write excuse the opening parenthesis (.

Thus began the widespread and varied use of emoticons in the form of text symbols. The main emphasis is on quickly expressing emotions using some sets of text symbols, but semantic emoticons are also used to show states, actions, surrounding nature, and so on. Standard set There are no text characters because everyone writes them differently.

Let's consider various options character emoticons.
