I find that none of the drawn emoticons I see ever really depict what I mean by :/ It's not a sad face as in that set. It's like "huh" or "what" or "ok", neither sad nor happy, it's puzzlement, filler, sometimes a "uhhh". Maybe that's just me though.

  I think it's too sad.

    Of course, the slant of the slash in any given font could alter the meaning too :).

    That's U+1F615 CONFUSED FACE - it's not supposed to be sad. Android and Symbola render it with a straight, slanted mouth - I'm not sure why other fonts make it sad looking.

  That's sad, not neutrally unsure or puzzled.

Happens to me too. I don't like the :P emoji variants either. And i could never find an emoji replacement for xD An emoji version of the Awesome Face† would be a welcomed addition too, for trolling or denoting friendly sarcasm mostly. † http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/awesome-face-epic-smiley http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/awesome-face-epic-smiley

  I think that conveys "bored" or "unimpressed" more than "puzzled". Funny how two dots and a line mean such subtly different things to different people.

  I've been using "emoticons" for quite a long time (1980s) and to me :\ means basically what bellerocky described... you might be sad, or you might be happy, but basically you're just kind of confused. In any case, there may be a generational component to this, or it might even be "regional", though the regions would be more about which forums, etc you hang out on rather than a geographical region.

    Agreed. I have always read it as "meh" (closely related to "shrug" with asterisks), however I could agree with "what" as well. It's definitely not sad though.

I never seem to find a good "role eyes".

I agree. The best set of emoticons I've seen to date are those in Skype. The worst ones in Google Hangout.
