User:Wd-Ryan/Tone indicators

Tone indicators, mood indicators, or tone tags are symbols used in digital communication to convey the tone or context of a message, typically appearing at the end of a block of text.^[1] They are commonly used by members of online communities with a high percentage of neurodivergent users, but some may also be used by neurotypical people when a tone may be difficult to grasp.^[2] They are most popular on Tumblr and in Minecraft YouTuber (MCYT) and K-pop communities on Twitter.
