      And by 1997 they were also autocorrecting ":-)" into an inline image, according to online discussions. This is the earliest automated emoticon substitution I've found so far, but I find it hard to believe that MS did anything first.

      If in Word, I believe it’d be 1995, with the release of Word 95. Also, unsure if it was it an image, rather than a glyph in Wingdings or Webdings?pic.twitter.com/Rxc8rhjxrJ
