Frog emoticons use the number "8" to represent large, comical eyes.

An emoticon is a popular way to express an emotion in a text message or Facebook post. The sender uses the letters and symbols on the keyboard to form the emoticon. The first emoticon used a colon followed by a hyphen and right parenthesis, which when viewed sideways looked like a smiley face :-). Now "smileys" have evolved to various facial expressions, celebrities, flowers and animals. There are two variations of frog emoticons: the passive frog and the frog catching a fly.
