Term:
:-)
Definition:
This odd symbol is one of the ways a person can portray
'mood' in the very flat medium of computers--by using
'smiley faces'. This is 'metacommunication', and there are
literally hundreds of such symbols, from the obvious to the
obscure. This particular example expresses 'happiness'.
Don't see it? Tilt your head to the left 90 degrees.
Smiles are also used to denote sarcasm.
