 * I would like to add some of my own saved emoticons and smiles. I have loaded 
   them up into the /wp-content/plugins/tinymce-advanced/mce/emoticons/img/ folder.
   They do not show up when I click on the Emoticon button and try to select one
   of them.
 * Question 1. Is it possible to do that?
    Question 2. if so, How do you make them
   show up? Question 3. Do they need to be GIF’s with the prefix icon_ to show? 
   Question 4. Can they be jpeg’s?
 * If none of the above, can you make it possible to add custom ones?

 * You can only replace the “icons” shown in the “picker” that way. The actual emoticons
   are added by WordPress (it replaces the typed characters with emoji).
 * If you want to show JPEGs, you will need a separate emoticon plugin, however 
   these are all “old” as everything is using emoji now 🙂

 * I believe some “emoticons” plugins are available, perhaps search the plugin repository:
   [https://wordpress.org/plugins/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/).
