Emoticon
An emoticon is a visual representation of a facial expression or emotion, typically used in digital communication to convey feelings or tone. It is created by combining characters or symbols, such as punctuation marks or letters, to form a recognizable image. Emoticons are commonly used in text messages, emails, social media posts, and online chats to enhance the meaning of a message or to add a touch of personal expression. They can range from simple smiley faces to more complex and creative designs, allowing individuals to convey a wide range of emotions, including happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, and many others. Emoticons have become an integral part of modern communication, adding a visual element to written text and helping to bridge the gap between face-to-face interactions and digital conversations.
