> I'm on the spectrum, and I can't tell 99% of these things apart. Looks like a sad face to me. no different then the 500 other sad face emoji's I find. I'll stick with =( If it's any consolation, I don't think anyone could infer that from the emoji itself. The meaning is like a subculture's slang. I don't use emojis, so I only know the very basic ones (which I consider to be obfuscated emoticons).

Am I the only one that can read faces in here? It is pretty obvious that it is a face doing the sad puppy eyes, like the one a young niece might do after I refuse to buy her some ice cream. I didn't even know it's meant to be underground, impenetrable slang.

    Nope. Face-reading is an underappreciated skill around these parts.

  It might be an emoji-font thing. Might be easier to tell what's up in some than others. I know I've seen emoji I sent from Apple devices on Android phones and been all "LOL WTF that's not what I sent at all" so that is sometimes a factor. Anyway, this is one reason why I prefer images and anigifs for expressing emotion in chats.

    > I know I've seen emoji I sent from Apple devices on Android phones and been all "LOL WTF that's not what I sent at all" Someone linked this above, which has the various versions: https://emojipedia.org/pleading-face/ https://emojipedia.org/pleading-face/ The Twitter version of it is what I'm seeing from this blog (Firefox on Ubuntu), which to me does look a lot more like "exasperated eyeroll" than "puppy-dog-eyes pleading".

    Slack transforms `:(` to `:disappointed:`… which is not helpful.
