♢ 絵文字をめぐって・Something About the Picture Words

What was the time when picture words went into our daily lives?
No matter what the answer is, today, our theme is about picture words themselves.
Everyone must have seen picture words like these:
( ^-^)/ \(^-^ ) ( ゜O ゜) * ^_^ *
Have not you ever seen them? The words combinations which show expressions, are picture words. In other words, a picture word is drawing with some symbols.
Picture words are mostly show faces. : ) may the simplest picture word. As the development of computer and internet, some communication ways were also developed. People use these ways to link others more efficient. However, the intimacy from hand-wrote letters is decreasing. To express ourselves more vivid, picture words, were born. (maybe so it is, I think...)
But not care about the history of picture words, with only few of symbols, we can “draw” out so many expressions. How wonderful picture words are!
Thanks for picture words, so that our lives turned to richer. Moreover, because our imagination is endless, it is surely that more new picture words will be drew out. I will also delighted when I see such a new one.
Now, let’s see some picture words!
絵文字が生活にそっと入るのが、いつの間にか?
一応この問題をほっとして、今日のテーマは絵文字自身だから。
皆さんもきっとこんなものを見たことがあるのだろう?

だろう?この顔を示す文字は絵文字だよ。つまり、絵文字は、文字だけで描くをこと。
絵文字は主に顔を示している。:)などは一番簡単な絵文字だ。パソコンやネットがだんだん広がると共に、私たちの交流方法もたくさん発展してきた。人々はこんなものを使っていて、効率は大幅に上がるといっても、手書く手紙から親しみがちょっと少し減るそうだ。もっとよく自分の心情や気持ちを示すため、絵文字は生まれてきた。(かもね、ただ私はそう思うの)
まあ、歴史はどうでもかまわないの。いくつかの文字だけ、こんな数大きい絵文字をできる。絵文字なんて、まったく不思議わね。
絵文字のおかげで、私たちの生活が豊かさにできあがられた。そして、みんなの想像力は使いきれないものだから、また、新しい絵文字をできるのは決まっている。私も、面白い絵文字を見るたびに、とても嬉しくなってるのよ。
これから、いろんな絵文字を見ようよ!
