How to Add Emoticons
Emoticons are images generated by a text code that display a state of emotion. These are most commonly used for emailing and instant messaging. In contrast to abbreviations such as "lol," (laughing out loud), emoticons add a more personalized effect. Let everyone know what you are really feeling by creating and adding emoticons to your next message.
