> very few Chinese natives like the emojis offered by western countries (and I guess vice versa)
As a Westerner, the Tencent smileys are mostly better. On QQ they animate, which I don't like, but on Wechat they're static and they provide much better options than the Western set. I don't think there's ever been a good "looking skeptical" smiley anywhere, though.
For some reason, Tencent semi-recently redid all their smileys in a much uglier style. I wish that hadn't happened.

There used to be one, a serious face that strokes its goatee. That emoji can be used to express doubts or "that's interesting" in a joking way. Not sure why that emoji disappeared.
