Emoticons
Emoticons are textual portrayals of a writer's moods or facial
expressions in the form of icons. Originally, these icons
consisted of ASCII art.
Emoticons can generally be divided into two groups: Western (mainly
from America and Europe) or horizontal; Eastern or vertical (mainly
from east Asia).
