(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ is probably my second-most used as well. That and ಠ_ಠ are certainly some of the emotions of all time, and you can't really express them with emojis or text.
Ages ago I remembered the unicode codepoint for ಠ (it's U+0ca0) so that I could type it in (on a normal PC) without needing to look it up and copy it from somewhere.
Funfact if something gets confused frequently it means you are infact the one in the wrong.
Language has one goal to convey meaning. If you have to explain pictographs then fundamentally they have failed to do their job or you have failed in using them correctly.
It could just be an audience problem. Teenagers have a whole lingo I am not privy to. Does that mean they are wrong? I probably know more words than the average teenager. Does that mean I'm using them wrong? A lack of knowledge from one party or both can lead to miscommunication. That doesn't automatically mean someone is wrong. I used to use the term POS in the early days of my Internet use. It meant parent over shoulder so that my friends knew why if I was acting differently all of a sudden. My parents thought I was calling them a piece of shit or referencing point of sale. The former was just funny and the latter was a bit silly. They figured they were just missing something, but it didn't mean they were using POS wrong. They just lacked the knowledge on one use for a different age group.
From a techical perspective I'm still annoyed that the amorphous blobs were not the agreed default. They are the simplest to store in SVG, have no gradients to render, and being non-human makes them not require skin/gender modifiers. All expression, nothing more.

On mobile, Emotic (from fdroid) helps. but it needs a larger catalog

On ios you can go to Settings>Keyboards>text replacement and enter in the shortcut you like.

On iOS add the Japanese keyboard (kana) in settings.
On the Japanese keyboard press

That's an emoticon not a komoji!
Emoticons are the shorter simpler things such as :D :3 and @.@ vs the more complexity focused komojis

Some arabic letters get extremely and I mean EXTREMELY close to non-sideways ":3" especially when you count punctuation and persian alphabet.

They look nice but their meanings aren't that clear to me, compared to emojis.
Heh, the 😅 is the one emoji people have understood me the most wrong using. Then I go and copy-paste its description from the Internet.

It can also be a culture thing 🤔

Kaomoji render correctly across all platforms, whereas emojis looks different across different vendors.
There's even been proper academic research done confirming the discrepancy.

As long as the platform doesn’t interrupt Kaomoji spacing anyway

So the speech bubbles read right to left, but the panels are left to right.
