The Web is getting more graphic with each passing day. With that in mind, text-based emoticons & graphics importance keeps growing. ASCII.li is a startup that helps users generate different types of classy emoticons using their ‘Text Emoticon Generator’.
Sometimes you are chatting with a friend, & you have very limited choice of emoticons that you can select from. The tool incorporates key features in enable you to generate a wide variety of emoticons.
The beauty of it is that with the Text Emoticon Generator, the customers are in the driving seat. This enables them to direct the creation of emoticons of their desire. Its features allow you to create Lenny faces, Kawaii as well as Japanese emoticons among others.
The Text Emoticon Generator represents emotions using the right abstract Unicode characters. With the endless list of languages available today comes different characters & symbols making the generation of emoticons endless. What we don’t know is that we somehow underuse our fonts. For example: the Text Emoticon Generator’s developers claim that most of us have a whole poker card set in our fonts. However, the only problem is that most of us only see these as boxes as we have not installed the complete Unicode fonts. This is where this tool comes in handy.
In addition, the Text Emoticon Generator provides users with tips to help them gain familiarity with the tool. For example, it has categorised the emoticons into a body section, eyes & the mouth. Users can click on the < > icons to either scroll through the symbols or double click on them to freeze them to the highlighted symbol. Also with the orange R you can randomise the fields to help you select the symbols that suit you best. You can as well use the big orange R to the right of the categories to randomize your entire avatar.
The platform also features some simple games that users can enjoy while on the go. These games are designed with a user-friendly interface which makes it easy for beginners & more enjoyable for the legendary player.
This startup was launched in December 2015 & can be used on Linux, Mac OSX, as well as Windows.
