What are "Emoticons"?

Emoticons are ASCII glyphs originally designed to show an emotional state in plain text messages. Over time they have turned into an art form as well. In most cases, emoticons are constructed to be viewed by tilting your head left so the right side of the emoticon is at the bottom of the "picture."

Near as any research can pinpoint, the emoticon was invented by Scott Fahlman circa 1980 in a messages posted on CMU bulletin board systems.

As you can see from the list below (which is likely only a small percentage of the totality of emoticons) there are hundreds (thousands?) but only a very few are commonly used. Those are shown at the top of the list. Most of the common ones involve some form of smile or frown giving emoticons the secondary name "smilies."

Don't overdo if you use emoticons. Over one in a paragraph and three in a message are a good indicator you are a "newbie."

If not already shown that way, emoticons are best viewed using a monospaced font. Your browser should have the option for this if they don't already show up that way.

Please note: The nature of the internet has always been an "anything goes" type of culture. A few of the emoticons in the collection are meant to be suggestive by design. You have to use your imagination, but be warned nevertheless. None of these emoticons were created by Computer Knowledge; they have only been collected from various other sources and cataloged here.
