How often you do use emojis? They're everywhere! When you text, post on social media, and even in online articles, but are you SURE what you're 'saying' with your emojis are correct?
We were looking at emojis that are often misunderstood; from the sad face that is actually someone with a runny nose, to the tired face that looks frustrated. To celebrate World Emoji Day we take a look at Emojis that mean something different to what you think...
CHECK OUT emojis that have different meanings to what you think
Emojis that mean something different stacked
1 of 141) Bowing Man ud83dude47
This guy isn't thinking, he's bowing! Although often mistaken for a man thinking or doing push-ups, this emoji is actually bowing deeply called dogeza in Japan.
2 of 142) Sleepy Face ud83dude2a
Although technically called 'Sleepy Face', this emoji isn't crying, the 'tear' is actually coming from its nose. This brings a whole other meaning to this 'sad' emoji.
3 of 143) See-No-Evil Monkey ud83dude48
While most people assume it mean 'oh dear' or 'oops', the 'See-No-Evil Monkey' actually part of the 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil' proverb, hence the other two monkey emojis next to it.

While it looks like the person could be doing The X Factor symbol, she is actually gesturing 'no'.
5 of 145) Face With Steam From Nose ud83dude24
In a survey conducted last year 69% of the people asked perceived this to mean 'very angry/in a huff'. It actually means 'expressing triumph after great frustration'.

This 'tired face' is often confused with the similar 'weary face'. Some also interpret it as a frustrated face.

Its proper definition is someone who should be kept quiet, but many believe it to be surprised or astonished.
8 of 148) Disappointed but Relieved Face ud83dude25
Contrary to the upset meaning that many use it for, its true meaning is 'disappointed but relieved'.
9 of 149) Dash Symbol ud83dudca8
Whilst many think of this as a fart it actually means the fast movement of a person or vehicle!
10 of 1410) Person with Folded Hands ud83dude4f
No, this person isn't praying! In Japan, a folded hand gesture is commonly used to say 'please' and 'thank you'.
11 of 1411) Poop emoji
Perhaps the most famous misinterpreted emoji, this little fella isn't actually a poop - he's a happy chocolate ice cream, duh. It was proven (by science) when a Twitter user superimposed the ALLEGED poop over the actual Ice Cream emoji and the shapes fit exactly.
12 of 1412) Dancing girls
These are dancing girls of the rather more risqué persuasion than what you've been using them as. Sure, nothing says gals night out on the town like these two, but they actually originated as Japanese 'bunny girls', akin to strippers or playboy bunnies.
13 of 1413) Sassy Girl
There's a Sassy Girl in all of us, but it turns out she's not actually flicking her hair like she just don't care in this emoji - she's actually an information kiosk lady. Who knew.
14 of 1414) Aubergine emoji
While we know - WE KNOW - that popular culture dictates that this is, in fact a peen, you'll be sad to know that it wasn't designed as such and is actually just an Aub. Day ruiner or what.
