The “emotional icons” that we often use for email as well as text messaging are emoticons. In common user language they are referred to as “smileys”, and they are used to add feeling and design to email and text messages Emoticons can bring about the nuances of spoken tone, facial expression, and body language to a written note. Creating or writing an emoticon is relatively simple and easy – just type plain keyboard typescript and most of these shapes can be interpreted by looking at them sideways. It is remarkably useful when the underlying message of your written note could be misinterpreted.
