# Emoticon
TODO
*Not to be [confused](often_confused.md) with [emoji](emoji.md).*
Emoticon (emotion icon) is a short group of [text](text.md) characters that together by their look resemble a simple picture, very often a facial expression (but also other common symbols). Emoticons are used to communicate feelings and emotions in text-only communication, such as internet chat, where body language is missing to provide this function.
TODO: more
Using [Unicode](unicode.md) in emoticons is considered cheap [cheating](cheating.md), so we won't do that here.
