Chinese Emoji Circulates Globe
“Funny”, a made-in-China emoji, seems to have recently moved beyond China. Now, it is more than an emoji, but a cultural expansion.
Reaching Global Markets
A series of “funny” emoji-based bolsters (垫枕) have attracted the attention of Japanese customers. Even if one bolster is more than three times as expensive as in China, it doesn't kill their desire to buy it. One Japanese customer Miki said, “They are just so cute and I bought three bolsters at one time. And every time I see them, my mood brightens suddenly.” A Japanese netizen Kiro Kara said, “My dad will send it whenever he disagrees with someone but he has to behave politely.”
Addition to Domestic Social Media
One commonly seen online comment from Chinese netizens is, “Every time other people send me the emoji, I feel very uncomfortable and consider myself a fool.”
Released in 2013, the “funny” emoji is the updated version of its original one; “funny” has a slightly opened mouth, two eyebrows and a naughty look. All these characteristics give users a sense of satire (讽刺).
In Everyday Use Abroad
Earlier this year, one emoji from a Chinese basketball celebrity, who played in the USA, has been spread through the Middle East region. In a city in Egypt, his smiling emoji has appeared in local traffic signs to remind people the road ahead is one-way.
As a new online language, emojis have been helping people express their views in a more vivid and precise way. Also, it can help foreigners learn about Chinese culture. But how to use “the fifth innovation in China” without hurting others and turn them into commercial advantages still needs answers.
