Are they emoji or emoticons?

We have come a long way since someone decided to type a colon, a dash and a right parenthesis to indicate a smiley face.  Now one has an extensive palette of images, including those with animation, to insert into text messages and emails.

Wikipedia describes them thus:  "An emoticon (/ɨˈmoʊtɨkɒn/ or /iˈmoʊtɨkɒn/), etymologically a portmanteau of emotion and icon, is a metacommunicative pictorial representation of a facial expression that, in the absence of body language and prosody, serves to draw a receiver's attention to the tenor or temper of a sender's nominal non-verbal communication, changing and improving its interpretation. It expresses — usually by means of punctuation marks (though it can include numbers and letters) — a person's feelings or mood, though as emoticons have become more popular, some devices have provided stylized pictures that do not use punctuation."  (I love the word 'portmanteau' - I wish it were one itself.)

"Emoji (絵文字えもじ^?, Japanese pronunciation: [emodʑi]) are the ideograms or smileys used in electronic messages and Web pages. The characters, which are used much like ASCIIemoticons or kaomoji, exist in various genres, including facial expressions, common objects, places and types of weather, and animals.

Reading those entries puts me in mind of the following:
