Well, that’s new for me too. The more you live…
Cool! I thought they were just the same… Now I’m starting to learn something in this forum aside from the more on techie side. Thanks!
Well…you learn something new every day! I honestly thought they were the same thing, and did wonder why we started calling them emojis instead of emoticons, I assumed it was just an evolution of the word or something…good to have it cleared up! So on that note, I would vote for emojis over emoticons
Ponderism for today:
Can a SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) be considered an emoticon? Reason for asking is because it is made up of keyboard characters and can render either images or text?
Why prefer Emoticons over Emojis?
Sometimes it’s little confusing to actually type an emoticon.
I like the ASCII simplicity, personally. A lot of emoji present a pretty weird interpretation of various emotions, too, which puts me off.
Not sure, though I think of emoticons as limited to what you can do with typable or copy/pastable characters. I’d prefer it to stay simple!
Depends how lazy I am, if it’s possible to put an emoji quickly, I’d choose that, but in forums and quick chats smilieys like these
