A lack of understanding of the emojis art
Millennials had to make their emojis out of various letters and signs back in the day. This was a bold and imaginative experiment in blending language with artful communication. Many of us recall the days when ‘:-p’ signified sticking out your tongue and ‘:-o’ meant astonished.
