If you use the Internet, you are probably familiar with emoticons: facial expressions displayed using a combination of typographic figures, e.g., :-) for a smile. Asian countries have their own set of emoticons; in these (which are viewed without having to turn one’s head), there are different smiling facial figures for a man smiling (^_^) and a woman smiling (^ . ^), since in Japan, women are not supposed to exhibit a wide, uninhibited smile. This difference between the men’s and women’s emoticons in Japan is due to a(n):
a. emblem.
b. display rule.
c. affect blend.
d. decoding difference.
