Chinese Emoji (表情符号) Circles 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（抱枕）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 desires 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 just brightens suddenly.” A Japanese netizen Kiro Kara said, “My dad will send it whenever he doesn’t agree with someone but he has to behave politely.”
Addition to Domestic（国内的）Social Media
One commonly seen online comment from Chinese netizens is, “Every time other people send me the wmoji, I feel very uncomfortable and consider myself as a fool.”
Released in 2013, the “funny” emoji is the updated version of its original one; “funny” has a smiley mouth, two eyebrows and a naughty look. All these characteristics present users a sense of satire (讽刺).
In Everyday Use Abroad
Earlier this year, one emoji from the Chinese basketball celebrity Yao Ming, who played in USA, has been spread through the Middle East region. In a city in Egypt, Yao’s 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 Chiness culture.

Delighting to see me, he asked my senior middle school life. Then he advised me to make fully preparations for the coming entrance examination.
