Emoticons are collections of letters, numbers or other characters which, when typed together, resemble faces with certain expressions. For example, the colon, hyphen and parenthesis can be used together to form a smiley face :-). These are often used in Internet chats or text messages as a shorthand way of expressing emotions.
