Sometimes it’s just easier to type out your message and get fancy with emoji. Emoticons (or Smileys) have been used since the 19th century to punctuate the written word with graphics simulated by characters. On Facebook, users who type these emoticons in their status updates add a little sparkle to the news feed because they show up like graphic emoji.
