Second Life Residents can add emotional nuances to their text chat by using "emotes". This can liven up conversation and reduce miscommunication.

You may be familiar with emoticons such as the popular smiley face ":)" which can be typed in the chat bar alongside any other text. There are a tremendous variety with variations. For example, happiness is also expressed via ^^, :o), and =^_^=. Unicode symbols from other languages that appear to be emoting faces are also used, such as the popular ㋡ from Japanese, which appears to be a happy face.

Emoticons are often used in gestures. For example, there's a gesture which uses ":)" as a trigger and automatically transforms it into the aforementioned "㋡".

An emote is a way to express a resident's emotions/feelings via chat.
Examples :

Emoting can also refer to an action your avatar performs, rather than says. You can emote in chat but talking on the "/me" channel.
