But a fellow forum-member explained it at the post linked through 'the main word' below (where you can earn money by joining in on the conversation); but first I want to understand those words better.

The word “Emoticon” is apparently a portmanteau of Emotion and Icon.
The word “Emoji” is built on the Japanese words for Picture & Character.

I appreciate your comment, and I'll probably approve it & publish it soon (give me about a week before you try to post it again when it doesn't publish immediately ... thanks)
