message: Dante's Paradiso, Canto XXIII. Some discussions:  Discussion one and Discussion 2. Dante uses the letters "omo" to represent a face - the eyes being represented as 'o' and the 'm' from shapes of the nose and eyebrows.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.177.156.219 (talk) 16:57, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

message: In Common Western examples, is the "vampire face" =K really relevant? I don't recall ever seeing this one in my life and I don't know a lot of situations in which it could be used. Perhaps it used to be more popular or something. Prinsgezinde (talk) 15:05, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

message: The article mentions the use of combining characters in a couple of places, but at least for the so-called "lenny face", the use of code tags around the 'moji is preventing it from actually combining: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) vs. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). I'm not sure if there's a way to get the boxed effect of code tags without forcing it to be monospaced, but if anyone does know, it'd be a good idea to do that. Felice Enellen (talk) 01:11, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for pointing that out, Felice.  I looked for awhile to see if there was a template that replicated the boxed style that  uses but without the monospacing, but I couldn't find one, nor did I find a boxed text template that allowed enough flexibility with parameters to match the style, so I just did it with HTML and CSS:  renders as  (cf. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)).  Anyone know of a less manual way to do that?  Perhaps a new template is called for.  --Dan Harkless (talk) 06:26, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Combining Characters 

message: The article says "the version omitting the nose is also very popular". I'm not sure if it's just my social circle, but it would be more correct to say that that version is *more* popular instead of very. I would even call it predominant/canonical. Akeosnhaoe (talk) 13:51, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: It may be that that phrasing was written when there were still people using both. As someone present for both eras, I would say say that omitting the nose has just about entirely taken over as the de facto standard method for text emoticons. I don't remember the last time I saw a fresh one with a nose, and I probably never will again, given that Unicode emoji have now taken over in almost all major online social settings.

message: "...XD, a visual representation of the Face with Tears of Joy emoji or the acronym LOL."
XD predates 😂, and so it seems odd to describe XD as representing 😂. 
Also, XD and 😂 are not the same expression, try X'D and 😂 or XD and 😆
source for first claim
"The Unicode Consortium's 6.0 emoji set release was the birth of many official emojis used today, including the "Face with Tears of Joy" emoji."

message: The article states that emoticons are used "to express a person's feelings, mood or reaction, or as a time-saving method." I question the line "or as a time-saving method." When can an emoticon be used as a time-saving method without expressing feelings, mood, or reaction?
This part of the sentence is especially gross when you also consider the double "or." It should be removed, if no such examples of emotion use exist. Uchiha Itachi 25 (talk) 13:40, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

message: I'm really not sure, since there already exist one very much like it in the article already. But on the other hand, it might give more insight in a more understandable language. It'd be nice to have both, but I the likeness was so striking that I felt I had to ask first.

replies: text: The image matches the mention in the body of the article and it was Puck before. See Special:Diff/1112498070. I suppose it was changed because of the apparent publication precedence. But the text in Polish acknowledges it comes from two other periodicals (not explicitly named, unfortunately). So probably the only advantage of using it is that it shows two variations. Besides the captions of the individual smilies, the text gives no further insight in any language and is just a distraction at this point of the article; it might be better without it like it was before the change. Someone should ascertain what the earliest appearance of those was, though. – MwGamera (talk) 22:48, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
