Fun fact: Japanese emoticons have more focus on the eyes and western ones on the mouth which is a general thing in the cultures. Compare Manga and western comics and the former have big eyes and a small mouth and the latter has the other way around

NGL I prefer Japanese emoticons over the yellow faced emoji.

"Seriously?" and "amazed" being identical would really fuck with you if you're a bit insecure

(o_o) (0_0) (O_O)
I think zero or lowercase o is more "seriously?" and capital O is more "amazed."

This would be easier if the guide maker typed these up instead of drawing them.

That's actually honestly pretty true to Japanese culture.
Honne-tatamae was one of the worst aspects of living in Japan for me, especially as an autistic person.

I find it interesting that these emoticons are hand-drawn.

There's a lot more interpretations than just these.

This is just what we use before the days of smartphones. And it's definitely not something exclusive to Japan nor invented in Japan.

@cordlesslamp @partybot They sure were invented there. North American style were sideways. :) #old

At least in southeast Asia, teenagers has been doing that since the late 90s - early 2000s (I was one of them).
AFAIK, the Japanese emoticons use a lot of Japanese characters (letters?). For example, ／(=✪㉨✪=)＼ or (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ
