Try turning this into an emoji, Apple. Oh wait, you can't, because I made it up. (Idea may be thought of by someone else before)
Ah. The old butt kissing emoji. I remember that
It was meant to be some kaomoji version of two eyes closed with a frown (I have little knowledge about kaomoji), but I actually like your description way more.
😔
The mouth doesn't look like it should. But it's close enough.
I've always just done it backwards, even before emojis were a thing.
I guess I'm just alternative, like Weezer.

It's not even that it's completely different - text emojis are more expressive. Less is more. And I'm not arguing that you can't use emoticons in more than one way to convey different emotions or intentions, but you just can't use :D and 😀 in the same way. Where you can use :D to be anything from snide, trolling, taking the piss, happy, excited etc you need a whole lot more emoticons to cover all that the :D can cover.
Long live emoticons, death to emoji heretics!

My phones autocorrect suggests it but doesn't change it
