Smileys, also known as “emoticons,” are glyphs used to convey emotions in your writing. They are a great way to brighten up posts. 

Text smileys are created by typing two or more punctuation marks. Type the smileys without the spaces between the : and the other punctuation marks or it will not work.  (I had to put the spaces in to show you what to type or it would just show the smiley faces and you would not know what to type.)

Some examples are:  

; - ) is equivalent to 
: - ) is equivalent to 
: - ( is equivalent to 
: - ? is equivalent to 

Smiley images and the text used to produce them*:

icon	text	text	full text	icon	full text
	: )	: – )	: smile :		: lol :
	: D	: – D	: grin :		: oops :
	: (	: – (	: sad :		: cry :
	: o	: – o	: eek :		: evil :
	8 O	8 – O	: shock :		: twisted :

* In some instances, multiple text options are available to display the same smiley.
