Some time ago, I noticed that youtube comments are copied without emojis, thought nothing of that - bugs happen - but today I finally decided to find out why and what the hell is even this.

    That’s really interesting, I didn’t realise the problem was that bad. I did the quiz at the bottom, tried to answer honestly and only got 5 out of 14 correct.

      I got 7 and even then that’s only because half way through I began to notice a theme on the really obscure ones with long names.

      These are ridiculous, they often bear no resemblance at all to their supposed meaning wtf? Slanted closed eyes with steam coming out the nostrils isn’t anger it’s… “Triumph”!?

        Yeah, that was a particularly egregious one! Triumph? Triumph?!? Ok then…

          Mind you, emoji were created in Japan, so a lot of the original ones can be weird to us due to cultural differences.
