Veelgestelde Vragen
What is the difference between emoticons and emojis?
Emoticons are made from text characters and symbols (e.g., ¯\_(ツ)_/¯), while emojis are small images or icons embedded in Unicode (e.g., 😀). Emoticons work as plain text everywhere, whereas emojis may appear differently across platforms and require emoji-capable rendering. Text emoticons also tend to be more expressive and creative in their compositions.
Can I use text emoticons on any platform?
Yes, text emoticons are plain Unicode text, so they work virtually everywhere - social media, messaging apps, emails, forums, documents, and code comments. They do not depend on platform-specific emoji support. Some very complex emoticons using rare Unicode characters may not render perfectly on all systems, but the vast majority work universally.
