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(心情) just brightens suddenly.” A Japanese netizen Kiro Kara said, “My dad will send it whenever he doesnt agree with someone but he has to behave politely.”Addition to Domestic(国内的)Social MediaOne commonly seen online comment from Chinese netizens(网民) is, “Every time other people send me the emoji, 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.
