Ok, the title was an overuse of emojis as a joke. But seriously, I like some limited use of emojis because it helps me convey intention/emotion so that I’m less misunderstood and also adds some more feeling/fun to text content 😄

    by definition they should really be the same though or at least both qualifying as emoticons. emoji are more icons than emoticons are, and the translation from japanese is literally just picture letter/symbol

      I never said emoticons are icons.

      • Emoji are picture-like and each one is a single-glyph.

      • Emoticons are not picture-like but resemble letters or punctuation, and are typically composed of multiple glyphs to make a coherent whole.
