A facial expression on a keyboard character (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emoticon

(Other definitions for emoticon that I've seen before include "Smiley characters" , "smiley, perhaps?" , "Computer symbol showing mood" , "A combination of characters" , "Facial expression created by characters in electronic message" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
