When did the well known yellow smiley face (created in 1963) first appeared as a bitmap version in any kind of computer use (PC, MAC, internet or what ever)?

I know that there are unicode smilies (b/w & w/b) from 1981, and the ascii art :-) which its first use is recorded back to 19-Sep-82 11:44.
But when and where was it firstly introduced as a real yellow colored bitmap version ( :))?

Thanks for any valuable answers and hints :)

The first I can recall was old 90's AOL chatrooms, but that probably wasn't the first

Tatsujin

Around when in the 90s was that? I mean it must be at least after 11.1992, right?

Yeah, AOL didn't exist that far back. I think they started mid 90s. before that was Netscape, primarily.

Damn straight Berzerk wins the race, BITCHES.
This "max-level forum psycho" (:lol:) destroyed TWO PC Engine groups in rage: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook "Because Chris 'Shadowland' Runyon!," then the other by Aaron Nanto "Because Le NightWolve!" Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together... Both times he blamed the Aarons in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged, destructive, toxic turbo troll gang!
