Abstract
This article aims to give an overview of similarities and differences in the function and use of smileys and emojis on the one hand and punctuation marks on the other hand in digital communication. It becomes clear that the traditional punctuation marks in their current use and the relatively new graphic symbols used in chats, messengers and forums are not so different at all, but show certain similarities, in that they can supplement, modify or even completely replace the written message itself.
