Specify a keyboard shortcut for the emoticon in the respective field. However, it is better not to use single letter or number for the emoticon like "2" or "g." If you give it a single character, every time you write a word with "g" or "2" in it, you will see the emoticon instead of the character. Instead use a combination of two or more characters like "#3" or "!@", which do not have any meaning when written otherwise.
