@MostlyHarmless You had stickers? We had to draw them!

Or approximate them using characters like :, - and ).

@MostlyHarmless And then we evolved "emoticons," which used keyboard characters to make smiley faces and other things. Many of them were meant to be "read" sideways, such as :-) (colon, dash, right parenthesis) or ;-) which used a semicolon to make a wink.

One of my favorites was c(_) to make a coffee cup.

I liked emoticons more than emojis; they relied on creativity and imagination. I still use them sometimes.
