Emoticons
In digital communication, small symbols are used to add tone and emotion to text. The symbols in the question are built entirely from ordinary keyboard characters: colons, semicolons, hyphens and brackets arranged to look like faces turned sideways.
Such typographic faces are called emoticons, a blend of “emotion” and “icon”. A colon, hyphen and closing bracket shows a happy face, a colon, hyphen and opening bracket a sad face, and a semicolon version a wink. The name covers the whole family of character-based faces, which is why the set is collectively called emoticons.
Emoji are pictographic images encoded as single characters in Unicode, not combinations of punctuation marks. Smiley usually refers to one specific happy face, so it cannot name a set that includes sad and winking faces. Stickers are larger illustrations or animations sent as images in messaging apps.
Emoticons option is correct.
