IIRC, someone claimed to have the copyright on emoticons and tried to sue the entire internet, so now nobody's allowed to call them that any more.

No clue.

It makes a ton more sense than emoji though. Emoji is just... emoji. Emoticon is an emotional icon.

Emoji is Japanese term created from combining "picture" with "character". It's a perfectly sensible term... in Japanese. I have no idea why English picked it up when there was already a preexisting term.

Listen.

On any forum that supported it, they were called emoticons.

I don't care about your modern day redefinitions.

Emoticons were fucking the same thing as emojis are.

Need clarification: Is this a "that's what she said" joke or is this a "That's what foolmo said" statement?

Because emoji as we know them now originated on Japanese phones, where they grew in popularity until being included as a standard internationally. But it's still the same set and that's why there's so many Japanese-styled ones.

No. A rectangle is not the same as a square, even though a square is a rectangle. This isn't difficult.

You're right, it isn't difficult.

They were called emoticons before. Now they're called emojis. I find the new terminology stupid.

And it is NEW terminology. As in, still subject to interpretation. And I reject the new interpretation.

So why is this so difficult for you?
