Everyone knows what the emoticons :-) and :-P stand for, but what about lesser known ones like :-Q or :-C?
To teach readers these ‘forgotten’ symbols, Brooklyn-based designer Taylor Simpson illustrated an ‘Emoticon Alphabet’ book that connects these emoticons with a visual image of an actual face.
For example, the emoticon ‘:-Q’ is represented by a person smoking a cigarette, while ‘:-C’ represents a person who is troubled or upset.
