The Impact of Social Characters on the Interpretation and Application of Emojis between Chinese-American Cross-Culture Scenarios

Emojis are widely used in social media. They are a special language phenomenon and cognitive behavior, mainly presented as a series of small icons representing different expressions, symbols, and objects. Emojis are often used to express emotions, ideas, or enhance the expressiveness of language in text messages, social media, emails, and other digital platforms. With the development of the Internet, social interactions have gradually shifted from offline to online, and emojis are playing an increasingly important role in online social communication. This research adopts a cross - cultural comparative perspective. It takes users from China and the United States as the research objects and uses various methods such as in - depth interviews, questionnaire surveys, and situational simulation experiments. By analyzing the empirical materials of respondents' interpretation and application of emojis in different contexts, this study aims to explore the impact of social personality on the interpretation and application of emojis in a cross - cultural context.
