What
is an Emoticon (or Smiley)?
An
Emoticon (or Smiley) is a sequence of ordinary characters you
can find on your computer keyboard. Emoticons are used in e-mail
and other forms of communication using computers such as chatting.
The most popular emoticon is the smiling face (smiley) that people
use to say "don't take what I just wrote too seriously". If you
don't see that it represents a smiling face, tip your head to
the left and look at it again. The colon represents the eyes,
the dash represents the nose, and the right parenthesis represent
the mouth. These emoticons show an Emotion through an Icon. Over
a hundred of these Emoticons are being used, some of the most
common and funny can be found here:
