Description
This smiling face predates Emoji, and works in all manner of older browsers and operating systems. ☺
The modern version of this Emoji has a smiling mouth, happy eyes, rosy cheeks and eyebrows in the Apple artwork. Differs slightly from the Smiling Face With Smiling Eyes Emoji which does not include eyebrows, and has a different style of smiling eyes.
When viewed on Android, no eyebrows are present in the Google artwork.
The older style of this Emoji looks like a traditional smiley-face emoticon in black and white.

Martha Zolanski urges her son, Roman Zolanski, to quit spitting these crazy bars full or violence and hatred. Roman and Slim Shady have gone completely bonkers.
It’s important to note that Roman and Slim are both characters, identities created by Nicki and Eminem, respectively. In a way, the two rappers have gone crazy, allowing these alter egos to take over their verses and rap in this aggressive style. This “going mad” points to the rappers' loss of identity, but interestingly enough, it’s this madness that unleashes the power of the song.

This is a reference to Romulus and Remus, the twins at the center of Rome’s foundation myth. Their great-uncle abandons them do die in the wilderness, but they miraculously survive by breastfeeding on a she-wolf.
The bantling in the poem, similarly cast out without parents or any other person to rely on, gains strength and power from this precarious childhood, just like Romulus and Remus grew up to be natural leaders and founders of what would eventually become the Roman Empire.
