Emoticons

Emoticons are what predated #Emoji in a lot of chatrooms, messages, emails, and texts years ago. Also many come from Japan like #orz (a stick figure kneeling down.)

They can be used to save text space as #Emoji often will take data/text amount to send, used where you can't send Emoji, and they can also be more complicated, too.

#Kaomoji (Japanese Emoticons) and ASCII (pictures from text and symbols) fall into emoticons sometimes yet it has now today evolved into their own thing, too.

Jim: what do you want for dinner :D ?
Emmy: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Jim: D: Cant decide again??

custom emoticons 

Bill gate's way of telling you that he owns your soul, and there's no escape.

"It's kinda difficult to read what anyone says with poorly chosen emoticons."
"*A small list of giant icons and poorly made gifs follow*"
"Exactly!"

anime emoticons 

The ridiculous internet "language" often found in chatrooms and on messageboards that confuse more people than ever due to its idiocy. Examples are ^_^ and ^_ ~ and o.0 and even more complex emoticons than that. Usually the same geeks that tAlk LiKe tHis and are into role playing and sci-fi garbage (Star Trek, Farscape, etc.) and fantasy crap (Lords of the Rings, Harry Potter, etc). Also, they seem to be socially inept creatures who feel the need to fit in somehow so they adopt this geek-speak nonsense.

I love anime emoticons <<*>> ^_^ ^_~ o.0 0.0 oooh I'm having so much fun! Must run along now, Farscape is gonna be on tv!!

anime emoticons by anime is just a fad, it'll go away soon June 25, 2003
