Wait, say more!

I am (also?) still attached to “emoticon”, but only for the specifically text-based version. I wouldn’t use it to indicate the image-based ones.

Is that how you use it too? Do you make a different distinction?

(And now I’m having a larger thought about the phenomenon of Japanese terms crowding out English terms and how unusual that is in the Anglosphere.)

I use it for both text and the graphic ones. When I was on message boards and forums in the early 2000s, they were all called emoticons. One particular forum I used to go to had a big thing about their emoticons and people would make new custom ones, I made a few myself even...

And that doesn't even begin to cover people sometimes just calling them "emotes" these days!

Got it, that makes sense to me. I think I used to use emoticon for all of them too, but I felt like people didn’t know what I meant at some point.

“Emotes” for emoticons and/or emoji is new for me.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. For some reason I have always thought they were specific different words? It never occurred to me someone might use one for both/all! It would be like using "photo" for a photograph and a painting. Emoticon :D vs Emoji 😀

Not saying other nonny is wrong, just that I had never encountered that. TIL.
