I'm part of the generation that used a few characters to express emotions during its teenage years :) These character combos have become less common as the new generation of colorful emojis took over. Our homemade emojis gave us room to experiment, with the keyboard as our only limitation (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ. Feeling nostalgic, I wanted to revive these tiny characters by designing an emoji-friendly font.
