Japanese emoticons made from symbols

Being a very emotional and creative nation, the Japanese quickly mastered communication using emoticons. Moreover, their visually rich language allowed them to create several thousand variants of their emoji, called kaomoji (stands for face + symbol). Their main difference from the designations popular in Western culture is that the schematic image of a human face is always in a horizontal plane. There is no need to mentally turn it 90 degrees. Otherwise, the differences are minimal, except that the Japanese are not shy about peppering their emoticons with rarely encountered characters.

Japanese emoticons of positive emotions

Joy emoticons are usually distinguished by high-set eyes, a smiling mouth, and raised wand hands. A variety of symbols can be used as a mouth, from a regular dot to letters of the Greek alphabet. Many Japanese women use the letter ω (omega) for their mouth, reminiscent of lips folded in a bow. So, in their opinion, the emoticon becomes more cute, “kawaii”.

Love emoticons - the Japanese very often use the heart symbol ♡ in them, placing it on the cheeks, in the hands of the emoticon, or even instead of eyes. Asterisks (*) in context denote embarrassment, as do the hands covering the face emoji. The letter ω (omega) indicates the intention to kiss the interlocutor.

( ´ ∀ )ノ～ ♡ – an emoji with a raised hand, a tilde and a heart imitates blowing a kiss to the object of your interest.

Σ>―(〃°ω°〃)♡→ – original confession “I fell in love.” Kawaii emoticon pierced by Cupid's arrow.

♡ (˘▽˘>ԅ( ˘⌣˘) – a couple in love holding hands with a contented look.

☆⌒ヽ(*'､^*)chu – these three consecutive letters in Japanese are consonant with the sound of a kiss. In practice, it turns out something like the Russian “smack-smack”.

(ﾉ´ z)ノ– a smiley with its entire appearance showing that its sender wants to hug and kiss the recipient well.

A few more options for love emoticons:

Embarrassment emoticons - as mentioned earlier, the most common symbol for this emotion is *, associated with blushing, and/or various signs with lines that imitate hands covering the face and eyes. Alternatively, slashes (////) can be used. This kind of drawing is often used in Japanese animation when it is necessary to show embarrassment on a character's face.

(◡‿◡ *) – a shy emoticon with eyes downcast or closed. (⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄ ⁄) - severe embarrassment that made the person’s whole face blush.

(*/。＼) – an emoticon that is embarrassed or ashamed of something, awkwardly trying to cover its face with its hands.

Other common embarrassment emojis:

Sympathy emoticons are small scenes with two characters. One emoticon acts as a subject who is upset about something, and the second one provides him with support. There is nothing stopping you from taking your favorite faces from other categories and combining them to your liking, making your own kaomoji.

(ノ_<。)ヾ(´ ▽ ) – a happy, cheerful emoticon pats his upset friend on the shoulder.

ヽ(￣ω￣(。。 )ゝ – a similar situation, but this time a sympathetic comrade puts his hand on the shoulder of a dejected friend. (ｏ・_・)ノ”(ノ_<、) – a caring pat on the head.

Japanese emoticons of negative emotions

Emoticons of dissatisfaction - the generally accepted expression of this emotion is considered to be a wrinkled face and/or closed eyes (this convention was transferred to emoticons from anime and manga). The sign # or ^ instead of a mouth, signaling a contemptuously raised lower lip, is perfect for this purpose.

(＃＞＜) - this guy clearly saw something that irritated him and narrowed his eyes with displeasure.

(︶︹︺) - symbolizes a contemptuous person looking at the interlocutor with disdain.

凸(￣ヘ￣) – there is no need to comment anything here. This emoticon not only does not hide its dissatisfaction, but also shows its attitude towards the interlocutor with the help of a world-famous gesture.

<(￣ ﹌ ￣)> - this person clearly does not intend to joke and is ready to sort things out in a raised voice with the subject who caused her dissatisfaction.

Other types of displeasure emoticons:

Anger emoticons are the most negative emotion that is difficult to confuse with any other. At the head of the exposition here are the eyes, which in angry emoticons are usually drawn not in circles, but in lines or sharp shapes with a black fill. To give an even more frightening effect, wrinkles, attributes such as claws or offensive gestures are added.

(‡▼益▼) - an evil grin, a scar on his cheek, black eyes and a wrinkled nose. With its entire appearance, this smiley demonstrates that it is better not to mess with it. ψ(▼へ▼メ)～→ – the guy with the spear and pitchfork is clearly angry with someone, so it’s better to stay away from him. (凸ಠ益ಠ)凸 – people often associate narrow pupils with anger, irritability and other negative emotions, so they are perfect for this emoticon. ٩(ఠ益ఠ)۶ – clenched fists and a fierce look. This angry emoji symbol not only gets angry, but also doesn't mind taking out its anger on someone.

Sad emojis are among the easiest to display. It is enough to choose symbols so that the eyes look tear-stained, for example, use two letters T. Alternatively, you can draw dash hands that will cover the face. The downturned corners of the mouth and raised eyebrows also clearly hint at a state of despondency.

(μ_μ) – this emoticon has several meanings (depending on the context of the correspondence). In this case, for example, it most closely resembles a face drenched in tears.

(ﾟ，_ゝ｀) – a sad emoticon symbol with a small tear. (ಥ﹏ಥ) - an emotional emoticon with a trembling mouth, trying with all its might not to cry.

。゜゜(´Ｏ) ゜゜。 – this is no longer just sadness, but real hysteria with a waterfall of tears.

Pain emoticons are usually a closed, suffering grimace, sometimes complemented by all sorts of special effects such as stunning, scratches, scars, etc. Cross-shaped eyes (X, x and others) are well suited for this designation.

~(>_<~) – a smiley face that suffers from headaches. (☆ [email protected] ) – the guy was stunned and given a good black eye. [ ± _ ± ] – crosses instead of eyes clearly hint that the smiley at the moment would prefer to die, if only his suffering would stop.

(×﹏×) – a wavy mouth in combination with cross-shaped eyes symbolizes repressed painful emotions.

Fear emoticons - a scared emoji can be easily portrayed by choosing the right eyes and hand gestures. Screams, attempts to cover your face, chaotic movements - all this can show how scared a person is (from mild stupor to panic and horror).

(・人・) is a visual illustration of the saying “Fear has big eyes.” A frightened look and pupils narrowed in horror. ＼(º □ º l|l)/ – can be regarded as a call for help or running around shouting “save, help.”

〜(＞＜)〜– the frightened smiley closed its eyes in fear and covered its ears with its hands. ..・ヾ(。＞＜)シ– this smiley is afraid and runs away from something in a panic.

Japanese emoticons of neutral emotions

Emoticons of indifference - expressed in the form of a characteristic shrug of the shoulders or spreading of the arms to the sides. For this purpose, pairs of symbols ┐ ┌ and ╮ ╭ are best suited. Eyes are drawn with narrow horizontal lines or dots. Below you can see several options for displaying your ostentatious indifference.

• ╮( ˘ ､ ˘ )╭
• ヽ(ー_ー )ノ
• ヽ(´ー )┌
• ┐(‘～ )┌
• ヽ( ￣д￣)ノ
• ┐(￣ヘ￣)┌
• ヽ(￣～￣ )ノ
• ╮(￣_￣)╭

Confusion emoticons are ideal if a person needs to show their interlocutor that the message sent to them has greatly puzzled them. For designation, characteristic hand gestures and ellipsis (...) are used, which are symbolic synonyms of the thought process, loading, pause, information processing.

(◎ ◎)ゞ– a seriously puzzled emoticon scratching the top of its head. ლ(ಠ_ಠ ლ) – the emoji depicts strong mental stress or, depending on the context, an attempt to convey some of your thoughts to your opponent. (・・) ? – a question mark near the head, a universal symbol of misunderstanding.

(-_-;)・・・– don’t interfere, the person thinks everything over carefully.

• (¬_¬ )
• (←_←)

( : ౦ ‸ ౦ : ) – the smiley is very confused or even stunned by what he sees.

(°ロ°) ! - a combination of two emotions, reflecting the surprise of an exclamation mark and an open mouth in a smile. It shows that the news received suddenly turned out to be pleasant.

(⊙_⊙) – shocked, puzzled, but clearly not happy emoticon.

w(°ｏ°)w – “what the hell,” “how is it like that,” “why did this happen.”

Indication of various actions by Japanese emoticons

Greetings. The easiest way to imitate this action is to raise the right or left hand of the emoticon upward. You can use a special symbol with two small dashes on top (ﾉﾞ), which resembles a welcoming waving of fingers from side to side.

• (￣▽￣)ノ
• (*・ω・)ﾉ
• (°▽°)/
• ( ´ ∀ )ﾉ
• (^-^*)/
• (＠´ー)ﾉﾞ
• (´• ω •)ﾉ

• (^ω~)
• (>ω^)

Apologies. Among the Japanese, it is customary to apologize with a small bow, so emoticons reflect a similar picture. The eyes are drawn small and directed downward, thus depicting repentance. Emoji diversify with various hand gestures.

(シ_ _)シ– hands in motion symbolize repeated bows. <(_ _)> - a deep bow and admission of guilt.

m(_ _)m – the letters m represent bows from a sitting position. Hands lie on some surface, for example, resting on a table.

Dream. Here the display is not much different from that adopted in Europe. All you have to do is draw closed eyes and add something like Zzzzzz. This letter usually imitates the snoring of a sleeping person.

(－ω－) zzZ – this emoticon clearly has pleasant dreams.

(￣ρ￣)..zzZZ – sleeping with his mouth open and drooling emoticon.

Hide and seek. If you need to depict action where your emoji character is hiding, character sets allow you to do this. The emotions reflected on the face will enlighten the interlocutor about the context of what is happening. Let's give a few examples.

┬┴┬┴┤( ͡° ͜ʖ├┬┴┬┴ – the famous 4chan meme of Lenny’s face is hiding behind the wall.

You can use it to troll opponents on the forums and in chats. ヾ(･| – a cautious emoticon calling out to its friend.

Letter. When you need to demonstrate that you are writing something, the φ symbol, which closely resembles a pen, is a great symbol. For paper or any other surface, a simple underline _ is usually used.

ヾ( ー´)シφ__ – an emoticon with hand movements shows that a person is writing something very quickly, in a hurry. __φ(．．;) – semicolon and small eyes hint at the subject’s concentration.

( ^▽^)ψ__ is another spelling option. This time, instead of the symbol φ, the equally suitable ψ is used. True, if used in the wrong context, the image of the writer can be confused with a man sitting with a fork in front of a plate.

Cats in history and mythology

Cats were revered by the Egyptians - figurines “Sacred Cat of Egypt”, “Goddess Bastet”

Egyptian cats became the most famous in history - they were revered as sacred animals. Killing them was punishable by death, and as a sign of grief for their dead cat, the owners shaved off their eyebrows. All this is because the cat is the embodiment of the goddess Bastet , whose parents were the great gods Ra (Sun) and Hathor (Moon).

“Bastet is the goddess of cats, Lower Egypt, the sun and moon, joy, fun and love, female beauty, fertility, fertility and home, protection from contagious diseases and evil spirits and war.”

Among the Vikings, the goddess of love, beauty and fertility, Freya , used to ride a chariot drawn by two cats. This is, of course, an image, but a very symbolic one.

The Slavic Goddess Makosh , the patroness of the feminine principle, also had a cat as her beast. Therefore, Russian women kept cats at home, which were both comforters and energy helpers for them (after all, a cat has energy for 9 lives). And it was believed that Makosh herself could communicate with a woman through a cat, give signs, and protect her from trouble.

Cats were often associated with wealth, acting as a kind of indicator of status. For example, in Japan, the emperor gave a cat to his most distinguished subjects. This was considered not just an honorary and status gift, but the highest reward, a special favor of God.

And Russian merchants had a tradition of competing with each other not with wallets, but with cats. The winner was the one whose cat was fatter and fatter.

Cat painting by St. Petersburg artist Vladimir Rumyantsev

However, there were times and peoples for whom the cat was considered a dark and demonic animal. For example, in medieval Catholic Europe , which was generally distinguished by obscurantism, cats were spread rot for company with witches, as representatives of evil spirits. This is how they brought upon themselves the plague epidemic, which is logical - “the cat is out of the house, the mice are dancing.”

In addition, the black cat was considered a zoomorphic embodiment of the goddess of witchcraft Hecate , associated with the darkness of moonless nights and with crossroads. From the same story, a sign: a black cat crossing the road is an alarming sign.

Another aspect of the dual function of cats is the image of the cat Bayun , Baba Yaga’s companion, capable of destroying or, on the contrary, healing (this is one of the hero’s tests). the cat Behemoth, appeared before us .

Illustration for the novel “The Master and Margarita”

But in most countries and religions, the attitude towards purrs is positive. Orthodox Europe revered cats to such an extent that they allowed them to enter churches. Also in Islam, this is the only animal that is allowed into the mosque. In Buddhism, monks bred cats; it was believed that this animal helps in meditation and helps cleanse the monastery space.

An important aspect of the perception of cats is the recognition of their connection with the subtle plane , their ability to be an astral guide. That is why it is customary to bring a cat into a new home first. This is a symbol of cleanliness, peace and prosperity at home.

There is also a belief that cats have a way of treating their owners, taking away their problems and illnesses. A cat is a kind of energy buffer for family members; always pay attention to its condition.

And finally, we will announce the most obvious economic function that underlies the love for cats and the recognition of their usefulness - their catching of mice and rats . In St. Petersburg there is even a holiday - “Day of St. Petersburg cats and cats” and a monument to these animals who saved the city from a horde of rats during the war.

Cats are excellent hunters, guarding their territory, and if this territory is your own home, where people live and supplies are stored, then such a hunter will be desired and respected.

Thus, in history and mythology, the three most important aspects of cat qualities are manifested:

• connection with feminine energies , the opportunity to be their conductor and amplifier (in the light or dark direction - depends on factors);
• the ability to influence home cleanliness and energetic well-being , which ultimately preserves and improves the overall well-being of the home and family;
• the attitude towards the animal and its ability to interact with the dark or light side of the astral plane and human energy depends on the external coloring

2. Gray is a symbol of harmony, mystery, silence, the transition from bad to good. In a general sense, a gray or silver cat becomes the personification of childhood. It is during this period that we do not yet feel the burden of growing up, everything seems measured, and life is quiet and gentle. Remember, almost all of us had a gray cat as a child. The gray cat brings peace, stability, it helps to hold on to the present and at the same time makes you look back, remember past experiences in order to understand that good changes are just around the corner.
3. White – purity, healing, luck, positivity. The smoother and purer the color of the coat, the more strength the cat is endowed with. Such an animal heals, protects and protects from thousands of misfortunes. Psychics advise loving a white cat, and then it will increase prosperity, maintain peace in the family, improve health and increase the level of spirituality.
4. A tricolor cat is considered to be energetically strong. It is believed that if such an animal attaches itself to your home, success will soon await you.

Black cat as a symbol

The black color of wool has long been considered mystical. An animal of this color was associated with the other world, evil spirits, and evil spirits. However, a black cat does not always carry negativity. Traveling between worlds, such pets help psychics contact the souls of the dead; they are able to ward off the evil eye and damage from home.

A black kitten is considered a reliable protector against thieves and is able to prevent accidents: people say that it will protect the house from fire and lightning strikes. In addition, the animal will increase wealth and make a successful owner even more successful.

If we talk about the negative attitude towards the black cat, it can be clearly seen in ancient legends. In ancient times, an animal with this color was associated with witches, satanic affairs, and black magic.

It was believed that every witch always took a black cat with her to the Sabbath. And even when the devil’s servant was discovered and burned at the stake, superstitious people believed that she could return to our world, reincarnated as this very black cat.

If we consider a black cat based on the symbols of the spiritual world, then there is a single opinion: the animal personifies physical healing. This is due to the fact that they are endowed with healing powers. It’s not without reason that for many years black cats have accompanied herbalists, healers, and traditional healers everywhere.

Cat and mice

The confrontation between cats and mice is a very ancient motif in fine art and literature. Already in Ancient Egypt, satirical papyri were created depicting mice on war chariots storming fortresses where cats had taken refuge. European artists of the Middle Ages loved to depict scenes of confrontation between mice and cats. In Russia, a popular popular print drawn after the death of Peter I, entitled “How Mice Buried a Cat,” became famous, where the tsar is depicted in the form of a cat, and his subjects secretly rejoicing in his death in the form of mice.
