Smiling eyes might be ###### eyes.

University of Minnesota ###### have found that humanlike ###### can get lost in ######. It can result in ###### misunderstandings between people.

This ###### two ways.

First, there's ###### computer translation glitch. What's ###### as a smiling face ###### a Google phone would ###### as a frown on ###### receiver's Apple iPhone and ###### versa.

Then there's the ###### part. People interpret emojis ######.

Turn That Frown Upside Down!

Miller's blog post ###### how the "grinning face ###### smiling eyes" appears across ###### different types of phones. ###### some phones the same ###### looks different. Some phones ###### teeth. Some mouths are ###### while others are just ###### straight line. Some have ###### eyes while others are ######. The corners of the ###### are turned up on ###### while others are turned ######.]]>
Miller writes that they ###### a lot of opportunity ###### miscommunication.

For example, the ###### face with smiling eyes ###### Apple's iPhone is sent ###### a somewhat sad emoji. ######, the study found it ###### be received on an ###### phone as a fairly ###### one.

The study team ###### people rate the emojis ###### terms of their feelings ###### them. They gave them ###### from minus 5 to ###### 5. Minus scores were ######, or sad.]]>
For nine of the ###### emojis tested, the average ###### in rating between two ###### systems was greater than ###### points.

Is That A Clap? Or Praise? Or Something Else?

People also described ###### differently.

When seeing an ###### emoji of a person ###### both hands in celebration, ###### described it as "stop" ###### "clap." When describing Google's ###### of the same emoji ###### used "praise" and "hand."

###### said the biggest surprise ###### that people may interpret ###### same emoji in different ######.

In other words, people ###### things differently.

Whether people ###### the same phone system ###### see the same emoji ###### whether they see different ######, the differences in their ###### is almost the same.

###### found that the sender ###### receiver differed by about ###### points in feelings toward ###### emoji. This happened when ###### picture was translated across ###### systems.

Even when comparing ###### to Apple responses, the ###### difference was just under ###### points.]]>
Moving Away From Written Language Some scholars argue that ###### use represents a huge ###### in language. Understanding its ###### in how humans communicate ###### be important in developing ###### technology, they say.

The ###### for the study started ###### Miller noticed that an ###### she saw on Facebook @@@@'@ the same as what ###### saw on her phone.

"@@@@'@ kind of an important ######" she said. "I think ###### aren't aware of it ###### now they can realize ###### on the other side @@@'@ seeing what they're seeing."

###### partner, Isaac Johnson, said ###### students had fun with ###### study. "It really caught ###### imagination," he said.

Getting More Emoji Studies Ready

The ###### involved 304 people chatting ###### pairs. The goal was ###### create a situation to ###### how feelings toward emojis ###### be different in two-way ######.

Miller posted her study ###### the blog and saw ###### grow.]]>
She and the team ###### are preparing more studies. ###### will study interpretations of ###### from people with different ###### and how emojis are ###### along with language and ######. She thinks more study ###### clear up the emoji ###### problem.

The main goal ###### to make life better ###### humans, Miller said.]]>
