Part 2 of 7: Oriental Emoticons

1. 1 Know how to enter oriental emoji. Oriental emoticons are common in Southeast Asia. They tend to be frontal emoticons as opposed to the horizontal orientation of Western emoticons. In oriental emoticons, more emphasis is placed on the eyes, which are used to convey emotions.
   • Many oriental emoticons do not use Latin letters, which provides more opportunities for creating a variety of emoticons, but some computers do not display all the characters used.
2. 2 Consider incorporating a body into the emoji. Many oriental emoticons use the symbol ( ) to indicate the contours of the head or body. To indicate the contours of the body / head or not - it's up to you.
3. 3 Use the symbol table to find a symbol. Windows and macOS have a symbol table that contains all the available symbols. Use this table to find the symbols for creating emoticons, but remember that some symbols may not appear on another computer.
   • Windows: click ⊞ Win+R and enter charmap... The symbol table will open. From the drop-down menu (top) select a specific font. Search and download the Code2000 font online to access any symbol to create oriental emoticons.
   • macOS: open the Apple menu and choose System Preferences. Click "Keyboard", go to the "Keyboard" tab and check the box next to "Show character table in menu". Click on the new icon that appears next to the clock and select Show Symbol Table. MacOS already has built-in symbols to create oriental emojis.
