🤔 Reaction Emoticons
10 emoticons
Reaction emoticons are the text equivalent of facial expressions you make in response to something — the facepalm, the eye-roll, the skeptical stare. They have become essential for conveying tone in online conversations.
The look of disapproval ಠ_ಠ uses Kannada script characters to create one of the most expressive emoticons ever made. Those raised, judgmental eyebrows say more than words ever could.
Table-flipping emoticons like (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ became a meme unto themselves, with the polite response ┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ) (putting the table back) creating a perfect comedy duo in text form.
