What are Emoticons?
The Internet has changed not only the speed and quality of human information transmission, but also greatly enriched the way human expressions are conveyed, forming a unique network language, which is characterized by a large number of non-verbal emoji. Emoji are used to vividly present and describe the non-verbal information in daily face-to-face communication, so that both parties can hear their voices and see others. [1]

- Yet these little boys (and girls, farm animals and food) icons are not without controversy. The text-loving old antiques witnessed the decline of the text with their own windows, and the ceremonial guardians felt that the sticky and childish things dripping from the snail tracks of these expressions were spreading.
- Considering that they are very similar to the heart-shaped patterns used by girls who are still studying to decorate their notebooks, not to mention that they are widely used by teenagers around the world, some people have begun to doubt whether adult men can use them. .
