I sometimes like to use emojis in my posts here, on social media, or when I am texting with someone. I look through the many lines of them and I have no idea what most of them stand for. How the heck then am I supposed to figure what to use?
Here on mylot it's easier because when the mouse hovers over an emoji we see what that emoji means because the mylot code for it appears. That's not the case with text messages. My iPhone emoji keyboard has a lot of emojis that are way too similar. How the heck am I supposed to know what they stand for and which is the right one to use to go along with what I am saying in the text?
Do you know what all the emojis stand for? How can you figure out what they mean?

I only use emojis. Or emoticons when I am texting. I don't like to do it in my posts or comments on here because, I don't know, maybe it was something that was stapled into my brain when I was in school.
I do know most emojis and emoticons. It probably isn't that hard to look them up either haha it is when you start getting into Japanese and Korean emotes, that gets into a weird area and I love it.

Well in mylot you can tell coz when you hover your mouse there, you can see what it is for.
But my iPhone, I rarely use the emojis there when texting.

No, the only ones I understand are the smiley face and the sad face. Other than that, I'm left in the dark.

I am in the same boat for the most part. It's the happy/sad face emojis that I know and the LOL one. But sometimes I want to use the crying emoji and I am not sure if the ones that have a water drop on them are to do with crying, or sweating, or being sick, or something else.

@lovebuglena At least they should explain what they're for, instead of taking granted everyone knows already.
