I see a lot of posts online (most of the time on TV or this website) that have faces constructed of keyboard keys, I do not know what hardly any of them mean accept for:

:(
;D

I would like to be educated.

Best thing to do is show us examples of the ones you mean.

They are all very obvious I think tbh. If they don't look like what they are showing, I don't think they should be used.

0_o = Puzzled or "Really!? (sarcastic) -Stretching one eye open further than the other

-_- = Sarcastic look, or evil stare sorta thing, slightly closed eyes

-_0 = Most commonly a wink, see the one eye open the other closed?

This list shows a few more examples with a kind of "Don't go there girlfriend" description.

I generally use -_- as a sort of sigh/fed up face.

¬_¬ is generally one I use to show sarcasm, sort of "yeah, right"

:P - sticking tongue out

^_^ - very happy, sort of like a "yay"

to be honest, most faces that get used on a regular basis are generic and simple, and can be guessed from just looking at them.

I use the one below all the time:

:V#:-o

(A person confused why nobody will talk to him, unaware that he has an alligator on his head)

It distracts people long enough as so I can changed the subject!
