:P is appropriate a lot of times when 😛 is not, and the latter is what slack converts it to. 😋 Is what they should use. One looks like you’re being silly, the other looks sexually desperate.
Yeah :P growing up for me was always either “yeah that’s silly” in a more nondescript way, or it was something akin to “yeah XYZ isn’t great but it is what it is” — almost like a diet version of :/
Yeah, there’s a kinda cheeky tone to :p and ;p that none of the graphical ones I’ve seen have captured. :S is another one, where I see it as half smile, half frown/sad.
