The difference between emojis and smilies is that emojis require the user to have the appropriate fonts installed while the smilies are automatically generated by the mail-news component of SeaMonkey and Thunderbird. In the sample of four emojis, note that the two middle ones are not shown on my PC. Instead, I see boxes with the hex codes for them. -- David E. Ross The Crimea is Putin's Sudetenland.
