How to Make a Kiss Emoticon

Video Transcript

"There are thousands of different emoticons that you can use in your Instant Messenger programs and some of the most popular ones that are for the romantically inclined and today we are going to talk about kiss related emoticons. Romantic emoticons are some of the earliest that have come around as far as the colon dash X is a kiss and you'll see that the Instant Message programs of today will translate into a more graphical experience and you can select even different variations. There is a different kind of smooch that you can send right off and of course friendship and happiness are also compatible emoticons. For instance there is a hug which is an h surrounded by 3 parentheses and a very embracing kind of emoticon that conveys feeling very well and then sometimes you want to share a broad smile and in this case it is a colon and a dash and a d. Again it is translated by our Instant Messenger program to a broad bright smile and here is tears of joy where you have got a colon an apostrophe and a dash, and a back parentheses, that one does not have an IM equivalent. We can look down the list but we don't see anything that matches that so there is still a use but we found a nice winking one instead, it's not tears of joy, it is a little saucier and it fits in very well with the romantic emoticons."
