Here are several emoticons. See if you can assign a meaning to each one. 

There is no one correct answer because they haven’t been in the language long 

enough to become conventionalized.

a.  >:-(   - with the little carrot on top of  the head - I am frustrated or mad!

b.  :-#  - with the hash mark over the mouth - I won't tell anyone or speak no evil!

c.  8:--(   - with a cloud-like figure 8 over the head - I am dwelling on this and it ain't good!

d.  : D    - big grinning mouth - I am really smiling ear to ear!

 

e.   :-(o)   - open mouth - I am shocked!

f.   :--(O)   - really wide open mouth - I am really not happy with something!

g.   |- ) - the eyes are shut but the mouth is smiling - I can't believe what I saw but I liked it!
