Full List of Emojis and Their Meaning for Every Situation

Emojis ListPin

In 2024, it has become increasingly difficult for people to express themselves online without emoji.

Well, using an emoji is a much faster and easier way to convey your feelings when you’re lost for words, and these days, our vocabulary is almost inadequate enough to express how we feel about things and people.

However, when I read posts or chats involving the use of emojis these days, I realize how often people use them wrongly.

If we can’t find the right words, we can at least try to use the right smileys so that our messages will be interpreted as intended.

In this article, we have put together all the existing emojis and those that will be introduced.

Categorization of Emojis

Emojis presently fall into seven categories, and here they are:

  • Face Emoji Meanings
  • Hand Gestures and Leg Emoji Meanings
  • Phases of Moon
  • The Astrological Sign Emojis
  • Meanings of Religious Symbols
  • Animal Emojis
  • Flags of Countries, Territories, Islands, and More

Meaning of currently available Emojis

Yawning Face 🥱

A yellow face with both eyes closed, mouth wide open, and covered by a hand. This emoji is best used to show that you feel sleepy or bored with a conversation.

Slightly smiling face 🙂

This involves a smile with a mouth wide open and chubby cheeks, the right emoji to describe a happy state.

Cheerful 😀

When you have too much joy to contain and want to spread it, this emoji is the perfect way to express it.

Laughing With Tears 😂

Perfect to describe times of uncontrollable laughter that cause your stomach to hurt and cause tears to well up in your eyes.

Also called:

  • Laughing

  • Laughing Tears
  • LOL

Rolling on the Floor Laughing 🤣

When something is funny enough to make you lose your balance, it also works as a one-liner or prank that went as planned.

Smiling With Big Eyes 😃

This emoji describes being accepting and grateful.

Big Grin 😀

Watching something so funny, but you have to hold the laughter in. Here’s a better alternative. It can also be used as an emoji for mockery.

Sweaty Laugh 😅

Grinning With Eyes Closed 😆

It is ok to accompany dark humor with a “grinning with closed eyes emoji” so that such friends do not feel offended.

Kiss of Love 😘

Usually believed to be more intimate than the other two, this emoji is great for a “Good Morning” text to your love.

  1. Fixed meanings are not really necessary as creativity, humour, etc etc can be a big part of any emoji and online communication. Emojis are best left out completely for serious com.
