A cool guide to Japanese Emoticons
  • Big upvote for admitting your error.

    In general, emoticons are easy to write with a normal keyboard, otherwise they don't fulfill their job of being useable in normal conversations. Exceptions are few ones that include kana which for Japanese people are easy to write but which were adopted by westerners like the shrug emoticon I have to google each time but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Fun fact: Japanese emoticons are called kaomoji (face characters) and developed independently from western emoticons. Emoji means "picture character" and is etymological unrelated to emoticon or emotion or anything.

  • Fun fact: Japanese emoticons have more focus on the eyes and western ones on the mouth which is a general thing in the cultures. Compare Manga and western comics and the former have big eyes and a small mouth and the latter has the other way around

  • Upvote/downvote ratio instead of total numbers?

    Since the last update, I don't see the total number of upvotes and downvotes but a ratio. So when it is at 0, I see 50% which is less interesting than seeing how many people interacted. Was it me upvoting and a single downvote or is it highly controversial with 100-100? Also: in a highly downvoted comment, I want to see how many people actually upvoted it.

    Can I change this back in the settings somewhere?
