An Emoticon, aka Smiley, is a small piece of specialized graphic icon used in text messages as informal markup to indicate emotions and attitudes that would be conveyed by body language in face-to-face communications. The most popular emoticons are the smiling faces (smileys or smilies).
What if I don’t understand an emoticon? If you don't see that it represents a face, animal, or any identifiable art, tip your head to the left and look at it again. ;)
Still don’t see it? Often a smile is represented with a basic smiley :-). The “colon” sign represents the eyes, the hyphen “-“is for the nose, and the parenthesis “)” for the mouth. Many variants exist with different symbols substituted for the basic ones. The symbol for the nose can be omitted, for example :) or ;). When the colon is replaced with the equals sign, =), the nose is almost always omitted.
