:D will forever be better than its emoji counterpart
π
shudders
It just does not convey the same feeling.
Especially that one with the teeth.
You should at least use the normal smile emoji π
Yes but in some chats that one has weird rosy cheeks
That's this one π (or this one βΊοΈ)
There are a lot of smiley faces now
:P is appropriate a lot of times when π is not, and the latter is what slack converts it to. π Is what they should use. One looks like you're being silly, the other looks sexually desperate.
:P can also be more neutral than happy at times, which is a nuance that the emoji lacks.
Very true
Yeah :P growing up for me was always either "yeah that's silly" in a more nondescript way, or it was something akin to "yeah XYZ isn't great but it is what it is" β almost like a diet version of :/
Yeah, there's a kinda cheeky tone to :p and ;p that none of the graphical ones I've seen have captured. :S is another one, where I see it as half smile, half frown/sad. Like "this is amusing but also horrible" or "putting on a smile despite everything being awful". Any of the smileys on my phone that have more than one curve for the mouth look either crazy or sick.
:p
Also D:
:I is one of my favs

^^ is what is used most often here (Germany)
