  Way back when, we used to call ASCII like ":)" smilies, didn't we? I'm so old I don't even remember clearly. x_x So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time...

    > Way back when, we used to call ASCII like ":)" smilies, didn't we? I'm so old I don't even remember clearly. x_x I always thought that ~it's only called Champagne if it's from the Champagne region of France~ it's only called a smiley if it's smiling. But, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoticon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoticon (and as confirmed by http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~sef/sefSmiley.htm http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~sef/sefSmiley.htm), their progenitor Scott Fahlman gave :-( as a prototypical example, so what do I know?

    That's a table being flipped. The whole thing is the table-flip eastern-style emoticon (kaomoji).

They're called kaomoji https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaomoji https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaomoji (face-character)

  And Windows actually has a library of them for easy insertion. It's part of the same interface as selecting emoji. Just hit Win+. (Win+{Period}) and switch to the ";-)" tab.

These are called kaomoji. More generally, emoticons. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emoticons https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emoticons

  Sometimes referred to as smilies, though IMO that word describes the 3ish character subset that look like a face at 90 degrees⁰, and predating emoji¹ by quite some time². ---- [0] Like :-) [0] and many many others: ;-) :-( :-| :-p 8-) … [1] the graphical alternatives [2] first commonly used in the early 80s, even before my time online, where emoji turned up right at the end of the 90s
