Emoticons serve as representations of various facial expressions using punctuation marks, numbers, and letters (also known as ASCII, or American Standard Code for Information Interchange characters). These "expressions" are widely used in social networking, instant messaging applications, and email programs to express emotions in status messages, text, or emails.
If you want to express your joy, disappointment, or sadness when composing an e-mail, you can add one of the smileys available in Microsoft Outlook.
