What is the meaning and effect of emoticons in chat?

I feel that since I first learned to chat with others online, I have felt that emoticons are really amazing. They can make boring text interesting, and at the same time, they can also make people understand more intuitively. The state of the other party that is not available in person. I think the purpose of emoticons is to make harsh text more humane. As for the effect, it should make chatting more interesting.

I don’t know what other people are like. Anyway, no matter which chat software I use, I will probably put a corresponding expression on my words to let the other party know what I am saying. What kind of state were you in when you said this? Of course, some people now use emoticons purely for the sake of using emoticons. It seems that there is a special term called: Dou Tu. I don’t think emoticons should be used like that, but occasionally I play with them. It’s also very fun to play.

Dou Tu mostly appears in the circles of young people. Although I can no longer be considered a young person at my age, fortunately I am lucky enough to be in some young people’s groups, so I can occasionally I collected some of my favorite emoticons. The kind of people who are awesome no longer need to type to chat with others. No matter what others say, they can reply with emoticons, and it is very appropriate. I have to say, this kind of chat is really very happy.

In addition to using emoticons to match text or pictures, another use is that when both parties don’t know what to say, they can use some emoticons to ease the awkward atmosphere, and maybe A certain expression may trigger a new topic.

I also thought about the important role of expressions, which is something I discovered at work. For example, our work group often has something like a task, or a colleague If you have done something that needs to be publicized, and then post it to the group, everyone can't pretend not to see it, but you don't know what to say, so the roses, thumbs up, applause, etc. in the expression are more positive. The emoticon appears very, very frequently. You can often see a large number of roses in the group, but when it comes to talking, everyone may not know the specific matter. Anyway, if someone posts it, they will follow it, which always shows their existence. That's right.

And I think there are too many emoticons to count, which also shows that the market is still very big. Many people can make a fortune by making emoticons, just like a very popular chat software. There is an option to tip emoticon creators. Judging from the rewards, many very popular emoticons can earn a lot of money.

In fact, the application of expressions can be regarded as liberating human nature in a certain respect, because in reality many people have to live with masks, and expressions can express some of their innermost feelings. Express your feelings that cannot or are inconvenient to show!
