NOTICE TO ANY AND ALL HELPERS IN THE PROJECT- I'll allow anyone to edit the page freely, but NO vandalism or removing of ANYTHING on the page without my permission first.

Emoticonology, (abbreviated E.C.), the study of emoticons, is what this page is entirely dedicated to doing. It is the studying of these emoticons and translating them to exactly what they mean to an extensive and in-depth level of meaning. Below is a list of some of the most popular emoticons and what they mean. This originally started in the Sandbox, but was moved here so it wouldn't be eventually deleted. We are always taking suggestions here, to submit new emoticons for the list, try here. Also, a shoutout to PoD for being a great help! Also to RAN1 in helping making the Epic Table of E.C.!!

This is way more helpful than antyhnig else I've looked at. This is way more helpful than antyhnig else I've looked at.

The Emoticons[]

NOTE: In almost all cases, :, ), ( and _ can be replaced by =, ], [ and . respectively, and most letters can be put in upper or lower case form and not matter. Also, notice (-_-) and -_- are the same- do not post Emoticons that are too similar looking, plz.

Trivia[]

  • In the Sandbox, this was originally called The Faces of Evil? for several reasons-
    • Referring to how people may not be sure of what some random scramble of signs and numbers mean, that they might even think of them as annoying, or "evil".
    • Referring to the infamous game itself, The Legend of Zelda: The Faces of Evil, to it's first few lines in the opening cutscene- "Gee, it sure is boring around here...", as HavocReaper48 made the list out of boredom.
    • Also compares the game to the list when it first started- not nearly as good as the new versions today!
  • This list is currently in a state of inactivity, it seems. \/_\/....
