could someone please explain to me the difference between avatar and icon, and between icon and emoticon?
Sure, an icon is a religious picture and an avatar is an incarnation of a Hindu god or goddess. And emoticon is a neologism.
But seriously, an icon is a graphical representation of something (e.g., a file, application) in an operating system. An avatar is a graphical representation of a person (or something that can pass a turing test) online. An emoticon (aka smiley) is a graphemic representation (see ASCII art) of an emotion.
