Emoji

It's the Japanese term for the picture characters or emoticons used in Japanese electronic messages and webpages. It's pronounced eh-moh-jee. Originally meaning pictograph, the word literally means "picture" + "letter". The characters are used much like emoticons elsewhere, but a wider range is provided, and the icons are standardized and built into the handsets.
