Emoticons are digital symbols used to represent facial expressions of the users. You can use animated GIF icons, image icons or key selections to send an emoticon. To create emoticons using your keyboard, you can select from many different key options to represent a range of emotions and mood. The most common key is the colon (:), which represents the eyes of the emoticon.
Step 1
Make a happy face. Press the colon ":" key. Then add the ")" key, which represents the mouth. :)
