If you don’t know what the “exclamation mark” emoticon on VKontakte is for, read the article. Everything is described in detail in it.
The first Emoji appeared in the 90s of the last century. The country of origin of this ideogram language is Japan. Currently, such ideograms are used on various mobile platforms and personal stationary devices. For example, on iOS today there are more than 1420 ideograms available in 8 sets.
Users of the social network VKontakte also have access to emoji. With their help, it is easier to communicate in dialogues and you can convey all your emotions. But we often don’t know what a particular smiley means. For example, “exclamation mark” - what does this emoticon mean, when should it be used and what is its code? Find the answer to this question below.
I can’t send a message to VK, red exclamation mark
Contents of the article (navigation)
Social networks have entered our lives so tightly that it is even difficult to imagine one day without them. Many people use them to communicate with friends and acquaintances, while others, in turn, use them for commercial purposes. Accordingly, to make a profit you need to constantly be in touch and respond to messages promptly. But there are situations when VKontakte messages are not sent. What to do, how to write a message and fix the problem - that’s what we’ll talk about today.
Causes of problems
There are not so many reasons why your VKontakte messages are not sent and an exclamation mark pops up, let’s look at the main ones
Reasons why messages are not sent to VK:
- You have problems with the Internet
- Your interlocutor has added you to the blacklist
- Your interlocutor removed you from his friends list
- Contents of the email attachment
- Social network malfunction
Let's look at each case like this
Your interlocutor removed you from his friends list
One of the first is that your interlocutor has simply removed you from his friends list. Accordingly, it is impossible to send messages to him if in the privacy settings he has configured sending messages only to his friends. Therefore, an alert will be sent in error messages, and there will be a red exclamation mark next to it.
Why did he do this? I was in a bad mood, had a fight with someone, and you just fell under the hot hand. Or you forgot about some long-standing conflict with this person, and in this way he decided to remind you of it.
Your interlocutor has added you to the blacklist
Some people, for one reason or another, may blacklist you and then messages from you will not reach them.
We have a whole article on how you can write to a person if you are on the blacklist, but you will immediately understand because you will see the inscription you cannot send messages anymore. This is what it looks like.
Emoticons/emoji/brackets
Let's get this straight, emoticons are good. But everything is good in moderation. In the early days of the Internet, emojis were a blessing that was sent down to convey emotions in text. And we took this heavenly gift and turned it into an indicator of vulgarity and inadequacy.
If this is not a friendly correspondence, try to avoid emoticons altogether. Not every interlocutor will be able to interpret them correctly and consider such an expression of emotions appropriate.
Of course, no one has ever died from a couple of emojis in a letter. But a dozen emoticons in a row really destroy not only the entire meaning of the message, but also the good name of its author.
There is no need to put a smiley face on every word that has an emoji. The words themselves are quite informative. Emoticons, like exclamation marks, serve only to enhance the effect. Alternatively, to briefly indicate agreement/disagreement or some kind of emotion when you do not use words.
Smileys are simply an irreplaceable thing. But you shouldn’t replace common sense with them and use only rock paintings. In the 21st century this is somehow not respectable.
If you absolutely want to joke and avoid the risk of being misunderstood, then put a couple of parentheses at the end of the phrase. This will be enough to show the humorous tone of the statement. But a whole battery of them will mean that you, at the very least, are dying of laughter. But you are not the philosopher Chrysippus, who, according to legend, died from this. Don't overdo it, it doesn't suit you.
Internet problem
If, when you press the “Send” button again, the “news” is not sent, then you should check your connection to the Internet. If it disappears, then you need to reconnect it and try again. Perhaps you forgot to pay it on time, or your Internet provider experienced some kind of breakdown and therefore messages on VKontakte are not sent - “red exclamation mark” error.
If there is a temporary failure, then you just need to reload the page, and if the Internet provider has fixed the problem, then you will be able to communicate again without restrictions.
In some cases, if payment is not made on time, the provider may reduce the speed. This is often common among mobile internet users. In this case, messages on the social network will not be sent.
Because of such oversights, sometimes ridiculous situations arise.

Simply put, the Caps Lock key is constantly pressed. This will very likely get you banned from most forums and chats. This is not tolerated, because text written in caps is extremely difficult to understand. The reason for this is the low contrast between the silhouette of capital letters, which always create a rectangle. There is simply nothing for the eye to grab onto, even if the font has serifs. That is, the more “roughness” a word has in the form of elements that extend beyond the line, the more convenient it is to recognize it by its form. And the easier it is to read, the easier it is to understand.
Just think, why don’t advertisers, who live only for one single goal - to attract your attention, use caps in their text? It's unlikely that they just didn't think of it.
The fact is that since elementary school we do not read words syllable by syllable, but perceive them as a whole, recognizing their outline. In a short advertising message, it is important to convey the meaning as briefly, succinctly and effectively as possible: “Buy our elephants!” The faster and more accurately we perceive the text, distinguishing the words, the more elephants we can buy.
But if you still can’t imagine life without huge letters standing in a row, then at least keep your losses to a minimum. Use caps to highlight a maximum of one word or phrase. This use of caps for peaceful purposes will even work to your advantage, because among the field of lowercase letters it will look like a semantic Everest. But don’t overuse it, because in the online community caps are often perceived as raising your voice or even shouting.
It's the content of the letter
Let’s say your work colleague writes you an SMS on your phone: “I can’t send a message to VK - red exclamation point.” And you should receive an annual work report from him, and not a banal message in the style of small talk. In this case, the problem is in the file itself.
The social network Vkontakte has a size limit for sending files. If the annual report exceeded the norm, then naturally it did not reach you. When uploading a file, your colleague should have checked whether the file exceeded the permissible limit, and then sent it. This will be visible in a pop-up window with all the restrictions information.
Accordingly, if you need to transfer a heavy document, then you should first archive it using special programs or transfer it in a package.
There is a limit not only on documents, but also on sent photographs and videos. If they are too heavy, they will not be able to be transferred.
The text in the message itself will reach the recipient in any case. If it is large, then automatically the system will divide it into several parts and send it to the interlocutor.

When sending messages, users may encounter a situation where, when they press Enter, a red exclamation mark appears in a circle to the left of the message. In this article, we’ll look at what the red exclamation mark means in messages on VK.
Error notifications in Viber
In Viber, not only a red sign may appear, but also other alerts. The messenger can warn about missing Internet and message status. If there is no network, a red bar with a corresponding message will appear at the top of the screen.
If the message is not sent and the messenger tries to send it, a clock icon appears next to the cloud. This designation may indicate problems both in the user’s phone and on the Viber server. After sending the SMS, the clock is replaced by one tick, then two.
What does an exclamation mark mean?
What does the exclamation mark mean?
Exclamation, surprise, joy are associations subconsciously evoked by the exclamation mark. It is one of the venerable punctuation marks. Information about its use in grammar has been found since the sixteenth century. At that time, an exclamation point was called amazing. According to one version, it comes from the Latin word “Io”, meaning joy. To simplify writing in the future, the letter I was placed above the o, which ultimately gave the sign “!”.
The first rules for its use in writing were determined by M.V. Lomonosov in the eighteenth century.
Surprisingly, until the 70s of the last century, the exclamation mark was not present on ordinary typewriters. In order to display it on paper, they first printed a period and only after that - a superscript comma (the so-called apostrophe), having first returned to the place of the period.
Main application in Russian
There are certain spelling rules that apply to this sign:
- An exclamation point ends exclamatory sentences.
Used at the end of narrative, incentive, interrogative sentences of an exclamatory nature. Helps show emotional formulas of speech etiquette, indicating greeting, farewell, appeal, gratitude, etc.
Placed at the end of “rhetorical” sentences containing a question. These sentences may imply a more emotional narrative.
Can be used in sentences instead of a comma for emotional appeal.
After the words “yes” and “no”, an exclamation point is used to express strong feelings.
It is used in situations where a sentence is both exclamatory and interrogative, which is indicated in writing by two signs - ?! (but not the other way around).
Other uses of the exclamation mark
This punctuation mark is widely used in mathematics and computer science. For example, it is used as part of symbols to denote factorials or subfactorials, and in a programming language the sign “!” stands for some logical negation operations. We especially often see it as an attention-grabber on the monitor while working at the computer.
In 2009, a new sign for motorists was introduced - a yellow exclamation mark. Drivers with less than 2 years of experience are required to install a badge with a black exclamation mark on a yellow background on their car. This is done to warn other road users. At the same time, driving rights for a novice driver are not limited.
This amazing symbol plays an important role, attracting attention when an exclamation mark lights up on the dashboard of a car, signaling a problem with the car.
The reason may be the following:
— insufficient brake fluid;
— open circuit in the indicator circuit;
— violation of tightness in the vacuum brake booster;
— activation of the parking brake.
In any case, when an exclamation mark is used, we always feel increased attention. After all, this symbol really means the importance of what is happening in this situation.
When did the exclamation mark first appear?

The punctuation system of European languages appeared in the 2nd – 1st centuries. BC e. Its appearance is associated with the names of Aristophanes of Byzantium, Aristarchus and Dionysius of Thracia. This system received its modern appearance thanks to the research of Aldus Manutius.
The need for punctuation marks began to be acutely felt in connection with the advent and development of printing (XV-XVI centuries). In the mid-15th century, the Italian typographers Manutius invented punctuation for European writing, which was adopted in basic outline by most European countries and still exists today.
Punctuation marks did not come to the Russian language all at once and not all at once. The oldest sign is the dot, followed by the comma and all other signs.
As for the exclamation mark, I have not been able to find out when it was first used in written text. But as for the rules for setting this sign in the Russian language, they were first defined by Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov in “Russian Grammar” (1755). However, the exclamation point was known earlier - this is also a fact. So, Meletiy Smotritsky (1619) and V.E. Adodurov (1731) mention it in their grammars, where it is written that the EXCLAMATION MARK IS MARKED TO EXPRESS AN EXCLAMATION (SURPRISE).
An exclamation mark ( ! ) is a punctuation mark that is placed at the end of a sentence to express amazement, a call for a strong feeling, excitement, etc. It can be doubled and tripled to express greater expression, combined with a question mark for a question-exclamation (according to the rules of Russian In punctuation, a question mark is written first) and with an ellipsis (in Russian typography, an ellipsis after an exclamation mark has not three, but two dots).
In relation to Church Slavonic and ancient Russian writing, the exclamation mark is called amazing.
The so-called satirical exclamation mark, enclosed in brackets and placed after a word or statement, indicates the absurdity or incorrectness of what was said.

Punctuation/Literacy
This is not snobbery, but a respectful attitude towards the interlocutor. Punctuation marks indicate that you have given the person some of your precious time. Believe me, this style of writing will tell about your disposition better than any “you” with a capital letter. In addition, in the Russian-speaking environment, well-dressed, literate people still inspire greater confidence. Let's leave the discussion about whether it is good or bad to perceive a person in this way, and simply take the fact into account.
Don't forget, all these squiggles weren't just made to annoy you in high school, they have a cool function that makes the text easier to understand. And it would be stupid not to take advantage of this. In addition, the absence of a comma sometimes distorts the meaning (remember “execute cannot be pardoned”).

Added 6 days ago Contacts name icq Added 6 days ago And still won’t be deleted Already launched the ICQ client, after deleting about 50 pieces, rebooted, and they were still there.
