15 Emojis We’ve Been Using Wrong This Whole Time

Curiosities
3 years ago

We all seem to be big fans of emojis and there are many times when we feel emotions are better expressed by using emojis rather than words. As we speak, emoji creators work day and night to update the now traditional images that were originally created in Japan. And that’s why many of the emojis we use (or misuse) every day actually reflect part of the Japanese culture and traditions without us even knowing. 🙄

Because of that, Bright Side made a list with all the emojis we’ve been using wrong all along and what their true meaning is. Don’t forget that you have to tap on the images to find out what the emojis mean. Have fun!

The best part about emojis is that you can use them differently in different scenarios! Also they look slightly different on other devices so that doesnt really help
