Emoticons sind kleine Piktogramme, die in E-Mails oder beim Chat benutzt werden, um Emotionen auszudrücken oder sich Schreibarbeit zu sparen. In den meisten Fällen stellen Emoticons um 90° gedrehte Gesichter dar, die aus dem "Basis-Smiley" entstanden sind.

Citing usage from 1949, the OED calls this mark the dog’s bollocks, which it defines as, “typogr. a colon followed by a dash, regarded as forming a shape resembling the male sexual organs.” This is why I love scrounging around the linguistic scrap heap that is the OED. I always come across a little gold. And by “gold,” I mean, “vulgar, 60-year-old emoticons.”

The invention of the original smiley and frowney emoticons is generally credited to Scott Fahlman at CMU in 1982. He later wrote: “I wish I had saved the original post, or at least recorded the date for posterity, but I had no idea that I was starting something that would soon pollute all the world's communication channels.” In September 2002 the original post was recovered.

There is a rival claim by one Kevin McKenzie, who seems to have proposed the smiley on the MsgGroup mailing list, April 12 1979. It seems likely these two inventions were independent. Users of the PLATO educational system report using emoticons composed from overlaid dot-matrix graphics in the 1970s.

Emoticons are ASCII glyphs originally designed to show an "emotional" state in plain text messages. Over time they have turned into an art form as well. In most cases, emoticons are constructed to be viewed by tilting your head left so the right side of the emoticon is at the bottom of the "picture." These simple emoticons have, over time, merged with artwork produced as ASCII characters. This site does not catalog that. If interested, perform a Google search on the term "ASCII art" and you should find multiple sites that host such collections.

When did the New York Times first use an emoticon? 1862. This word helps explain why.
October 3, 2011 59 Comments Share
Last week the New York Times ran this headline: “Twitter Study Tracks When We Are : )” Notice anything odd for official newspaper-speak? That little emoticon printed in a venerated newspaper suggests growing acceptance of abbreviations and pictographic communication. Of course, the article is about the internet and technology, so a nod to common electronic communication is appropriate and light-hearted.

Are emoticons words, symbols, or what? Consider this possibility . . .
March 14, 2011
You may not like it, but we all use them. Whether it is in a text message, an instant chat, or a casual email, emoticons appear in written communication to indicate the tone, humor or feeling of a message. As communication moves away from personal interaction to a text-only environment, emoticons fill the void left by the absence of the tone of voice and facial expression that add connotation and intent to a message. The word emoticon is a portmanteau of “emotion” and “icon.”

Spurensuche für die Geschichtsschreibung des Emoticons

Mit einigem Aufwand wurde vor wenigen Tagen das vermutlich erste ASCII-Emoticon wieder aufgespürt und sein Jubiläum gefeiert. Mit der Tastatur produzierte Gefühlszeichen wie :) sollen jedenfalls auf einen Vorschlag von Scott Fahlman in die Welt gekommen sein. Dieser machte am 19. September 1982 in einem Nachrichtensystem der Carnegie-Mellon-Universität den Vorschlag, :) für Witze und :( für schlechte Nachrichten zu verwenden. Seine damalige Nachricht führte dazu, dass er in einschlägigen Lexika wie dem «New Hacker's Dictionary» als Erfinder mit der Jahresangabe «um 1980» geführt wurde. Diese Angabe erschien einigen Programmierern zu ungenau. Sie besorgten sich die damaligen Sicherungsbänder, die noch in der Universität lagerten, und rekonstruierten die gesamte Diskussion, in der Scott Fahlman seinen Vorschlag machte.

Zum 20-Jahr-Jubiläum wurde das erste Smiley ins Internet gestellt www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~sef/Orig-Smiley.htm. Prompt regte sich heftiger Widerspruch. Er kam von Programmierern, die wesentlich früher, nämlich im Jahre 1976, an einem Multiuser-System namens Plato arbeiteten und dort eine ganze Reihe von Emoticons erfanden www.platopeople.com/emoticons.html.

It appears that the emoticon was invented by one Scott Fahlman on the CMU bboard systems around 1980. He later wrote: "I wish I had saved the original post, or at least recorded the date for posterity, but I had no idea that I was starting something that would soon pollute all the world's communication channels." [GLS confirms that he remembers this original posting].

Is That an Emoticon in 1862?
By JENNIFER 8. LEE

Did someone insert an emoticon into this Times transcript of Abraham Lincoln’s speech in 1862?

Were they using emoticons back in the era of Abraham Lincoln?

There has been a lot of recent attention focused on the inspirational quality of Abraham Lincoln’s speeches. Perhaps those speeches inspired emoticons a century before they proliferated in the digital world.
...
Bryan Benilous, who works with historical newspapers at Proquest, said the team felt the “;)” after the word “laughter” was an emoticon, more than a century before emoticons became a widespread concept.

Could it be? Was this just a typo, a mistake, or was the reporter, transcriber or typesetter having a bit of sly fun?

We sought the opinions of historical experts, as well as the Carnegie Mellon professor who is widely credited with instigating the use of Internet emoticons after he proposed using “:-)” and “:-(“ to convey emotion on a bulletin board in 1982.

Seit den 1980er-Jahren werden Emoticons auf breiter Basis im Netz benutzt, um Freude, Traurigkeit, Schüchternheit, Verachtung oder andere Gemütsregungen auszudrücken, die ein Mensch empfinden kann. Ihre Vorgänger gehen bis auf das neunzehnte Jahrhundert zurück. Aber das hat Schlauberger nicht davon abgehalten, Lücken zu suchen und Patentente in diesem Bereich anzumelden.

PLATO Emoticons

13 September 2002 - The news is floating around the Web right now about the "discovery" of the first online emotion-conveying icon or "emoticon." What readers and reporters are apparently not aware of is that the emoticon or "smiley" being discussed is the first ASCII smiley.

Like so many things, PLATO was doing emoticons and smileys, online and onscreen, years earlier. In fact, emoticons on PLATO were already an art form by 1976. PLATO users began doing smiley characters probably as early as 1972 (when PLATO IV came out), but possibly even earlier on PLATO III (still to be determined... old-timer PLATO III users please speak up!).

emoticono.
(Del ingl. "emotion", "emoción", e "icon", "icono", infl. por el esp. "icono").
1. m. Inform. Símbolo gráfico que se utiliza en las comunicaciones a través del correo electrónico y sirve para expresar el estado de ánimo del remitente.

Die zündende Idee hatte der Informatiker Scott Fahlmann. Er schlug zwei Zeichenkombinationen vor, die später weltweit akzeptiert und hundertfach abgewandelt werden sollten. Sie waren seitwärts zu lesen und sollten ein lachendes und ein ernstes Gesicht darstellen: :-) und :-(. Das Emoticon war geboren, zur Welt gekommen am 19. September 1982, vor ziemlich genau 20 Jahren.
...

Viele Jahre war sie verschwunden, nun ist sie wiederentdeckt worden, pünktlich zu ihrem 20. Jahrestag: die erste Internet-Nachricht, in der ein Emoticon verwendet wurde. Mitarbeiter von Microsoft und der Carnegie Mellon University haben has erste :-) auf einem Backup-Tape aufgestöbert, auf dem Beiträge gespeichert sind, die am 19. September 1982 in einem Diskussionsforum getippt wurden. Die Nachricht stammt von Scott Fahlman, der damals als Informatiker an der Carnegie Mellon University arbeitete. Fahlman ärgerte sich darüber, dass ironische Beiträge zu oft nicht verstanden wurden, deshalb schrieb er: "Ich schlage vor, dass von nun an eine Zeichensequenz einen Witz kennzeichnen soll, nämlich :-)." Zuvor hatte es andere Vorschläge gegeben, # oder \_/, aber es war Fahlmans Idee, die sich durchsetze und dutzendfach variiert wurde. Und heute gibt es für fast jede Stimmung das passende Zeichen.
