Abstract

Social media symbols such as icons and emojis hold hidden meanings that are not immediately apparent. These meanings become a way to convey implicit messages, express identity, and build culture and social norms in the digital world. So, symbols are not only visual, but also a symbolic communication medium that has great power in shaping social relations. In today’s generation may tend to be more free compared to the ancient generation wich had a lot of rules, starting in terms of dress, and various other rules, wichh made the generation in ancient times prefer to obey the rules that existed at that time.
