Within a few months usage and variations had spread to the ARPANET and Usenet. (The message shown here was thought [[Lost Forever|lost forever]] before it was found 20 years later on some backup tapes.)
 
[[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.
Line 57:
* Kang Ho-Ryang from ''[[Tower of God]]'' has a wing of energy that tells a lot about him. Whether he will move or attack, what he is thinking, and… shows his emotions through Emoticons.
* One ''[[Yotsubato]]'' comic has Asagi draft Yotsuba into being "e-mail". She then tells her "You need an emoticon". Yotsuba's expression in the last panel is [http://koiwai.biz/eng/v7/ch42/42_24120x175_jpg.htm a dead-on visualization of the O____O emotion].
* Emoticons show up all over the place in ''[[Pani Poni Dash!]]''. One episode took place in the Edo period of Japan. Throughout the whole episode, the narrations reflect on the culture of society at the time, while showing real life Japanese style artworks where everyone's face is replaced by a 2chan emoticons. In another episode, Kurumi Momose tends to start sporadically cycling through numerous emoticons on her face when she's absolutely bewildered and confused about what everyone else is talking about.
 
 
Line 80:
 
== [[Music]] ==
* The [[Hello! Project]] members each have their own emoticon used on 2ch.
* Basshunter has an album called "LoL <(^^,)>"
 
Line 102:
** Emoticons also pop up in people's e-mails and dialogue, since they're trying to imitate how people on the internet actually type (surprisingly, the writers actually didn't do too badly at this).
* Though not featured in actual in-game text, there is the title of ''[[Pokémon XD|Pokémon]] '''[[Pokémon XD|XD]]''': [[Pokémon XD|Gale of Darkness]]''.
* Used very often in the ''[[Golden Sun (Video Game)|Golden Sun]]'' series by the characters. Emoticons range from happy, worry, and anger. ''[[Golden Sun Dark Dawn (Video Game)|Golden Sun Dark Dawn]]'' uses these again and adds some new ones, such as eye shifting, sighing, and sadness. At certain parts of the game, you can utilize some of these expressions (happy, joy, worry, and anger) to respond to a situation, which does nothing but slightly change the response from the characters in the scene.
 
 
== [[Web Animation]] ==
* In the ''[[Teen Girl Squad (Web Animation)|Teen Girl Squad]]'' Valentimes<ref>sic</ref> Day Special , when Cheerleader texts with the class president, she attempts to enter an emoticon that is supposed to look like a heart and a frontways cupid, looking like this: '''<B >KO)->'''. Unfortunately, the class prez doesn't get the text jargon, and when a Wireless Wizard shows up to chastise them for "texting from a few feet away", he complains the "cupid" looks more like a "USB dongle goblin".
{{quote| '''Class Prez:''' Whattaya mean, I'm less than B?}}
 
 
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* ''[[Dinosaur Comics (Webcomic)|Dinosaur Comics]]'':
** T-Rex invents the [http://www.qwantz.com/archive/001057.html "OGC" emoticon].
** [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/1901656/OGC-unveils-new-logo-to-red-faces.html Not the only time] that emoticon has shown up, either.
Line 119:
* After reading [http://www.beaverandsteve.com/index.php?comic=336 this] ''[[Beaver and Steve]]'' strip, you will have to use the emoticon Q-Q ''somewhere''.
* Castora, God of the Beach in ''[[Keychain of Creation]]'', uses a smiley emoticon. In real life. [[The Rant]] helpfully informs us "Yes, gods can totally pronounce emoticons."
* In ''[[Homestuck]]'', many of the trolls incorporate their horns or abnormal eyes into their emoticons. For example, [[Emotionless Girl|Aradia]] has {{color|#a10000|0_0}}, [[Wheelchair Woobie|Tavros]] has {{color|#a15000|}:)}}, [[Grumpy Bear|Karkat]] has {{color|#626262|O:B}}, [[Munchkin|Vriska]] has {{color|#005682|::::)}}, [[Catgirl|Nepeta]] has {{color|#416600|:33}}, [[Everything's Better Withwith Princesses|Feferi]] has {{color|#77003c|38)}}, [[The Hyena|Terezi]] has {{color|#008282|>:?}} and [[Monster Clown|Gamzee]] has {{color|#2b0057|:o)}}. [[Wicked Cultured|Doc Scratch]], of all people, has [[Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff|8^y]].
** Also emoticons for the quadrants of troll romance: '''<3''', '''<3<''', '''<>''', and '''c3<'''.
* In ''[[Living With Monster Girl]]'', [[Headless Horseman|Dullahan]]'s body "speaks" in emoticons when the head is away.
Line 125:
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* In an episode of ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Animation)|Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'', Shake discovers text messaging and announces his messages accordingly:
{{quote| '''Shake''': LOL, IMHO, colon, paranthesis!}}
* In ''[[Adventure Time (Animation)|Adventure Time]]'', when Beemo gets his controller taken away by a Door Lord, his screen promptly shows the "D:" emoticon.
