Emoticons, also referred to as smileys
(or smilies) are little faces made by typing the certain characters
on a computer keyboard. The word emoticon is short for "emotional
icons". Emoticons were originally intended to help people show
emotion over email and in chat rooms in a clever, creative way.
These cute smileys have since evolved into a fun diversion all by
themselves!
An emoticon can let your reader know you are happy, sad, kidding
with them, or upset about something. They can also represent your
face, a celebrity face, or a cartoon character's smiley face. |
The basic smiley looks like this
:-) |
To see it correctly, tilt your head to the left side. The colon
represents the eyes of the face, the dash is the nose, and the
close parenthesis is the smiling mouth. Other common emoticons
include: |
