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 😄

    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.
