I do most of my posting and commenting from my Linux desktop computer.

• When I want to use emojis, I refer to @blueorgy's emoji's master post. Copy and paste
• The other day I was using my smartphone and realized you users have it made. The emojis are right there on your keyboard. You don't have to copy and paste, just click. That's really cool! 😎

Anyway, here's how my mind works...
Over the next few days, I was multi-task thinking about emojis.

• I got to wondering exactly what some of those emojis actually meant.
  • So I poked around the world wide web and found out.
    • I thought someone else might be wondering,
      so thought I would share with you what I found...
• I'll end up with a page I can bookmark
  • Then search on the page (CTRL + F) for a name.
    • Ex. I use the sunglass emoji a lot, so I will search for cool.
• WizNOTE: Now that I "know," I'm still confused by a few of them...

Q. Why do emojis exist?
A. To help you understand what I type

• When I type something, you cannot see my face or hear my tone of voice...
  • Example: If I type "I am done." How do you interpret that?
    Go ahead.
    Take a minute to think about it.
    Can you see that can mean quite few different things?
    How about if I add an emoji.
    • I am done 😃
      You can see I am happy that I am done.
    • I am done 😠
      You can see I am a perturbed.
    • Same words, completely opposite meaning...

🚩means they look VERY different on different platforms.
Use with caution...
