The Unicode Standard has expanded and added over 3,000 emojis for the public to explore and use in their daily conversations. Still, sometimes a few come across as puzzling creations that serve little to no purpose. The internet is a mystical place of wonder and fantasy, but it has awkward moments like this too.
Graphic designers, engineers, and even amateur content creators all have their ideas on new emojis they want to add to the group. Creating one has never been easier than existing technology has become cheaper and more accessible to the public, such as free graphic design and editing software.
Let us look at some classic and recent additions to the Unicode that seem to have no purpose in making our digital speech more convenient. You can read on and grab some of these ideas on how they can become useful in daily conversations.
The Shruggie
This digital gesture used to be misunderstood and questioned for its purpose, but as time passed by, people started developing typical applications for its use. The shrug or the idk emoji is one of those characters that can speak volumes in a conversation without having to say anything at all. The proper use of this is when you’re tired of thinking of a reply to sarcasm or philosophical remarks.
Padlock With A Pen
This emoji is unknown; however, if it is used in the right context, it can become symbolic of romance or affection. If you think about it, most healthy relationships are like locks and pens because both don’t need the existence of the other to function properly. They can exist in the same junk drawer and not give each other problems.
You can send this to your lover when you’re at your wit’s end and need a quick comeback to an already deteriorating conversation and add some flare to your replies. Your partner will be surprised at how thoughtful you’ve become, will most probably get back to his/her good graces.
Levitating Man In A Black Suit
This is totally up to preference on how you use it. Still, some popular options are when talking about conspiracy theories, fictitious characters seen in movies, and even rumors of aliens taking over the world. It’s one of the more comical additions to the group, but it can also show that you’re in dire need of a break, and stress is creeping up to your motivation tank.
The Double Curls
Sometimes mistaken as a pair of breasts, this is often referred to as a new zodiac sign, but no facts to back up that claim. You can use this for sexual references or Astrology; either way, no one knows this emoji’s true nature.
Reading the horoscope and Astrology is a very specific belief, and there is no one way to utilize these picture characters. Use them as you would normally with others and add these double curls to your next digital exchange to make the dialogue a little less boring for those involved.
Fog Over A Bridge
This might be the worst addition to the Unicode Standard as an official character. It’s like a photo taken with a phone from 2010, and no one knows how it came to the Consortium. You can have this portrayal that you’re having foggy thoughts and that you would like whoever is talking to you to disappear from the conversation thoughtfully.
Man Checking Passport
A custom-made design has a single purpose of showing that you’re having your ID checked at the airport. Several unrelated topics can be used with a flirtatious gesture, checking out an attractive individual as an airport agent would to the stamps of foreign lands on your passport.
The Alembic
Made entirely for intellectual conversations between scientists, this has a few distinct features that make it hard for your average joe to use in a sentence. One use for this is when there are medical abuse issues in question, don’t panic if it’s organic though.
The Floppy Disk
If you’re born after 1999, then chances are you’ve never heard or even seen one of these before. Luckily, this can be used in sexuality and erectile dysfunction. You can guess what rhymes with a floppy disk.
Takeaway
Whatever the original purpose of these emojis was for, human ingenuity will always make use of the useless and make do with the outdated. Take everything with a grain of salt, knowing that you’re not the only in the world that’s puzzled on how to add them to your list of collective emojis you can use to land you a job or get you a relationship. We hope our article helps you out in incorporating your emojis with your daily conversations. Knowing the different meanings of emojis can let you make more use out of them and knowing which conversations they’re appropriate for.
