BeepEmojis and Kaomojis
DamaskoxThey look nice but their meanings aren’t that clear to me, compared to emojis.
Heh, the 😅 is the one emoji people have understood me the most wrong using. Then I go and copy-paste its description from the Internet.
HolytimesFunfact if something gets confused frequently it means you are infact the one in the wrong.
Language has one goal to convey meaning. If you have to explain pictographs then fundamentally they have failed to do their job or you have failed in using them correctly.
It could just be an audience problem. Teenagers have a whole lingo I am not privy to. Does that mean they are wrong? I probably know more words than the average teenager. Does that mean I’m using them wrong? A lack of knowledge from one party or both can lead to miscommunication. That doesn’t automatically mean someone is wrong. I used to use the term POS in the early days of my Internet use. It meant parent over shoulder so that my friends knew why if I was acting differently all of a sudden. My parents thought I was calling them a piece of shit or referencing point of sale. The former was just funny and the latter was a bit silly. They figured they were just missing something, but it didn’t mean they were using POS wrong. They just lacked the knowledge on one use for a different age group.
Kaomoji render correctly across all platforms, whereas emojis looks different across different vendors.
There’s even been proper academic research done confirming the discrepancy.

Emoji Face Renderings: Exploring the Role Emoji Platform Differences have on Emotional Interpretation - Journal of Nonverbal Behavior
Emoji faces are ubiquitous and integrated into most people’s everyday (nonverbal) vernacular. Yet, we know little about how people interpret these characters in terms of their emotional content. Do people agree that an emoji face represents an individual emotion and that it is unique to a specific emotion? Are such representations similar across electronic platforms? The present study took a theoretical approach to address these questions by investigating shared agreement between emoji–emotion pairings across three electronic platforms (Apple, Android, and Samsung). Two hundred twenty-eight English-speaking adults completed an online survey that involved picking up to three emoji faces (presented from a common set from one of three platforms) for each of 10 emotions. They then indicated the strength of that relationship. We examined whether the intensities that participants gave to emoji–emotion pairings were specific and consistent across platforms. Our results showed limited shared agreement for the majority of emoji–emotion pairings, and significant variation as to which emotion category a “comparable” emoji belonged depending upon the viewed platform. We highlight the need for future emoji perception research to examine how different platform renderings of the same emoji might lead to miscommunication and interpretation discrepancies.
