sail7seas Posted February 22, 2011 #4 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Betty, If you type : eek : without the spaces between the : and the 'e' and then the 'k' and the final : you will get the emoticon that looks like this :eek: If you type : cool : without any spaces between colon and letter, you get :cool: etc as per the list jtl513 posted. copied and pasted from jtl513's post - All the smilies are text strings. In addition to the two you found, try (without spaces) : wink : :wink: : D :D: : ) :) : ( :( : mad : :mad: : cool : : eek : : rolleyes : : confused (I couldn't post all the emoticons as it exceeds the number CC permits in one post.)

GmaPajama Posted February 22, 2011 #9 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I often use the emoticons. I think they give a "tone of voice" to what I'm trying to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trvlcrzy Posted February 22, 2011 Author #10 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I like this emoticon... but I don't think CC will translate it (correctly) *<:o) In case it translates part of it... here it is with extra spaces: * < : o ) It's a clown.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
