It is standardized. A smiley face is a smiley face. Who the fuck uses emojis though?

Uhh, who would consider it to be a negative expression?
>>
>>54903831
from the same source as OP's pic
>>
>>54903837
Make the facial expression yourself. Tightly closed eyes and bared teeth with no curvature of the mouth typically implies some sort of pain.
>>
>>54903837
it looks a bit like grimacing, and without seeing Samsung, Android, LG, and Microsoft as references, it's easy to conclude that it's some kind of wincing/cringing face.
>>
>>54903837
It's the "Terry Davis" look.

Yeah, you can change letters entirely and their meaning, or sound, doesn't change, however changing an emoticon changes the feeling they convey entirely. fucking retarded that they put this bloated shit in the unicode standard.

you can think what you want - they surveyed a bunch of people and those were the results.

you have to accept that research broadly trying to capture "the average person" isn't going to be relevant to people on 4chan.

>>54903792
Whoever made that graph is a massive sperg. Nobody thinks the apple emoji is a negative one.

In fact, the one differing most is the Samsung one, since it doesn't have its teeth together.

The apple one looks like an autistic retard trying to smile after hearing a one sentence description of smiling from an adult.

Nobody with a functional brain really gives a shit about the consistency of emojis so it will never be fixed.

Personally I never use emojis ever, but hands down, the Apple ones look dated and ugly. No idea who thought it's okay to make everything flat but the emojis (which as typographic symbols shouldn't have any gloss and whatnot to begin with).

Once again, Apple is wrong.
>>
>>54903792
who cares, each app has their own anyway so if I send an emoji through telegram they'll always receive the same one no matter the platform

why would I ever send emoji through SMS?
>>
>>54903792
It's weird seeing Apple having the worst design of something.

I mean, as much as we like to shit on them design is generally the thing you can count them on doing right, bur their emojis look like something they scavenged up from some free library a dude made in 2004.

Also, when did emoji become a word everyone uses? Like, we have had and used them since fucking forever, why did people suddenly start using the Japanese name? Why did it get popularized? Did Apple start shilling it like the word "App" or something?

The corners of the mouth aren't upturned. So instead of a toothy smile, it could be interpreted at baring teeth.

The shitty free library garbage style is what most Apple employees seek to emulate. Hipsters man, not even once.

March of 2015.

Yes.

Honestly, Microsoft's "emojis" make me kind of uncomfortable. Also they have been standardized, you may have heard of them, they're called "emoticons". Examples would be " :) ", " :( ", " :^) ".
>>
there's a standard for what the unicode sequence is supposed to depict, but it's up to font designers to render it and as a result it can look different across fonts. I mean, look at cursive fonts versus sans-serif fonts, lmfao

They have been standardized. Unicode has code points for the emoji. Now, it's up to the companies to use the Unicode standard.

It looks like a brainfart on Apple's part, since it's supposed to be 'GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES', but they just took their 'GRIMACING FACE' and added the asian eyes to it.

Because emojis are like fashion or even GUIs, while you can standardize quietly some things, it is not required for the good functioning, nor is it useful since people will change their tastes quite fast anyway.

Just use ascii emojis in instant messaging if you really need them, they're standardized and look the same on any platform.

emojis are called emojis because the japs were the first ones to come up with a codepoint standard for emoticons, which then got rolled into unicode

>Emoji's
I'm hijacking the thread because I need people to explain this to me because I'm pretty sure I'm not insane.

Emojis. We're talking about smilies right? Emoicons? Those things that ICO and BBS boards had 20 years ago right? Those things that mIRC had on windows 98? That AOL put in their crappy dial up programs before my nephews were born? Like the things that people had in the ASCII set on DOS?

This is a Thing? This is a Thing now? It's some kind of Big Deal for companies to put smilies in their chat apps? This is what gets the tech industry buzzing at the water cooler these days?

Am I going insane, or did 90% of these people really never use a computer before 2008?
