Unicode Consortium has already launched a list of new emojis that will access your iPhone, iPad, and other devices and apps. Among them, we will find curious emojis such as ninja, smiling faces with tears, mamony and Italian action emoji "capisci", which we shall discuss next.
It turns out that the "capisci" emoji, handmade that joins the fingers in one place, has very different meanings in different places in the world. This act is known worldwide as a symbol of protest, although the official description provided by the Unicode Consortium is how the Italians question it "What do you want?".
However, as we have already mentioned, this action has a different meaning depending on where you are in the world. Today we are going to travel to other countries to see what they mean in the example of Italy.

What does it mean for an Italian action emoji?
In their 14-page emoji proposal, the creators of the icon mentioned that Italians typically use around 250 hands-on hands.
It is a widely used act in the Italian region, connecting the fingers at the same time and moving your hand forward and backwards towards the chest. And if the same act is done with both hands, what does it mean to not believe. However, its founders want to point out that it has many other meanings in other cultures.
"You will find people who use this fingerprint configuration in many cultures, it is simply a universal symbol."
For example, in Israel, they use this act when you are angry with someone. Its meanings may vary between "By car", "wait a minute", "wait" or "what … …?, according to reporter Kim Zetter.
In Israel, you often use this action when you are angry or angry with someone – meaning "hold your horses," "just a minute", "impatient" or "wtf?" Obviously, not everyone uses it this way. I think this new emoji will be confusing. https://t.co/7Ngje3Rd5V

On the other hand, in Nigeria, the act of "gbas gbos" version. I mean a tug of war negotiations. In India it can also be a way to ask if anyone has starvation.
According to Arab tradition it can represent two opposing things: "Be quiet, wait a minute, wait …" either "You'll see what happens to you", as a warning act.
This emoji represents a number of things in the Arab world, including two critical modes: شوية شوية (slow, wait, calm down, impatient etc.) or rebosha (you will see what happens to you, as a threat)… https: // t.co / n4qK6cdjqj

In addition, the Italian action emoji "capisci" can also be given to others Comedy definitions. As Lance Ulanoff suggests in the following tweet, if we change the emoji, it could mean a sign of "salt pressure."

But if you think something ends here you are very wrong …
In Korea, new fashion is starting to emerge in relation to the touch we are talking about today. As you well know, Asians are more likely to perform all kinds of "cuckoo" cosmetics, and a young K-Pop star named Yuri He often uses this same action for his followers. It is accompanied by the phrase "I mandu you" (mandu means to throw away in Korean) because fans find it funny that this is their way of saying "I love you".
“I AM GOOD FOR YOU”

In Spain we also offer this feature feature for daily use. Usually, we hold our fingers and hold our hand close to our mouth to ask “What about food”by us "I'm hungry" or show humor "You ate it", it's a joke. While it is also true that, given our positive relationship with the Italian world, we often use an act that mimics the meaning they give us.
This by 2020 the Unicode Consortium will update its platform with 117 new emojis that will be part of the update "Emoji 13.0". In addition to Italian action (and other countries, as we have already seen) we will have other emojis in the form of a heartbreaker, a frozen bear, a wristwatch, a skirt at the top of this article.
