It's an [[New Media|online trope]] about using typing characters to represent symbols, often to show emotions or to punctuate a point. The format is usually a sideways face with the eyes on the left and the mouth on the right. Optionally there is a dash to represent the nose. Another format is an underline in the center for the mouth, and two things on the side for the eyes. The first type is generally more Western, while the second has a stronger Eastern (specifically anime) heritage.
Line 24:
[[Message Board|Message Boards]] often have pre-made pictures that replace the symbol you type. And [[The Wiki Rule|of course]] there is [http://emoticon.wikia.com/wiki/Emoticon_wiki Emoticon Wiki] for more information.
While emoticons are still in use, their fully-grpahical descendants, Emoji, have slowly encroached on their terrain and have mostly supplainted them in most environments not strictly limited to ASCII text.
Compare [[ASCII Art]], [[Henohenomoheji]], [[Image Macro]].
