Emotion Icon.
A smiley face used to show emotion. Doesn't necessarily have to be a face, as MSN Messenger uses other things as well.
The best emoticons are on DeviantArt.

Emoticons are what predated #Emoji in a lot of chatrooms, messages, emails, and texts years ago. Also many come from Japan like #orz (a stick figure kneeling down.)

They can be used to save text space as #Emoji often will take data/text amount to send, used where you can't send Emoji, and they can also be more complicated, too.

#Kaomoji (Japanese Emoticons) and ASCII (pictures from text and symbols) fall into emoticons sometimes yet it has now today evolved into their own thing, too.
