Under Construction
Emoticons were originally combinations of keyboard symbols used to represent a facial expression that, in the absence of body language, served to draw a receiver's attention to the tenor or temper of a sender's non-verbal communication. E.g. ":)" - Happy Emojis are pictorial representations (ideograms or smileys) usually small (18x18 - 22x22 pixel - depending on the font size specified) icons that fit on a line of text for the same thing. They originated in Japan and were called kaomojis. The word emoji literally means "picture" (e) + "character" (moji). They now include common objects, places, food and types of weather, activities, animals symbols and other things. ☔ Native and Mac OS X and iOS versions are the same. Android versions are also in color. Newer versions of android have emojis similar to the Native versions. - They are black and white in windows or blue in win 10. See How they appear in different browsers, email and OSs below.
Most text messaging software has a bunch of these built in.
