Old fogeys (such as myself) who grew up communicating exclusively with words (in a written context) might find this link useful:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emoticons
This has bothered me for a while, both in the game and on the fora, as my interpretaions of some emoticons has not fitted the context.
For example I have interpreted "XD" as a grimace, indicating frustration or pain. Imagine my surprise to find it means:
"Laughing,[4] big grin,[5][6] laugh with glasses[7]"
Unfortunately this list is not comprehensive as (for example) the use of "@" is not explained extensively.
Also, from this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoticons#Common_Western_examples I find that different counties use different lists of emoticons.
In the interest of fuller understanding, I was wondering if there was a consensus within the Arcane Legends community. Perhaps someone could write a guide.
