Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Haha, yea, unintentional but fairly accurate.
I absolutely love that character-people-drawing
There's a word for that I don't know?
Type-doodle?
They're called kaomoji, like emoji. In Japanese, emoji means "image-letters" and kaomoji means "face-letters." The English word for them is probably emoticons, but that more refers to things like :-) and xD. Kaomoji can be called "Japanese emoticons."
If you have an Android phone, your keyboard has built-in kaomoji ヾ( ͝° ͜ʖ͡°)ノ♪. You can access them by opening up the emoji panel at the bottom left, then tapping the ":-)" button at the bottom right, which contains some western emoticons but many categories of kaomoji
Talk about TIL.(+_+)
Fascinating.＼(°o°)／

I was today years old when I learned that that is a feature in my phone keyboard (✷‿✷)
Thanks, kind stranger
At your service (￣^￣)ゞ
