Emoticon

Posted: January 29, 2020 | by Michael Bright

An emoticon which is short for “emotion icon” is a pictorial representation of a facial expression using characters, usually punctuation marks, numbers, and letters found on the computer keyboard.

Emoticons became more widespread from the 1990s with the advent of SMS and the Internet. These were used in text messages, emails, and Internet forums.
