Western

Main article: Emoticon#Western style

The emoticon in Western style is written most often from left to right. Thus, most commonly, one will
see the eyes on the left, followed by the nose and mouth. Typically, a colon is used for the eyes of a
face. However, an equal sign, a number 8, and a capital letter B are also used interchangeably.
