)Emoticons for Facebook status or Twitter
How to use Emoticons in Twitter and Facebook Status? Its been quite a while that I used Orkut now a days. From Orkut I remember how people used to use some Ascii emotions in their profile, nicknames and later in their status message. So I just tried it over facebook and twitter and it worked there too. There are some special UTF compatible characters that can be used on a website just like a text. So now instead of putting a : ) emoticon you can use âș
Emoticons were first introduced by Instant Messengers like MSN and Yahoo and later they became so much popular that everyone had to use them. They are quite expressive sometimes when you are talking to something. I have a habit of using :p or 
emoticon and during the chat if sometimes I forget to put any of this the other person thinks I said something very seriously to him/her. lolz why they think I am kidding all the time. Ok not to waste more time, here is the list of some characters that you can use in your Facebook Status, Twitter and Orkut as emoticons.
Simply Copy/Paste the character and use them.
Great post. Do you have to copy and paste or is there a way to type them in? I need one of these every so often.
My brothers and I just created a facebook app that turns facebook status updates into t-shirts. We named it Status King. I wonder if we will ever need to support these types of characters?
You will have to copy/paste else there are some Ascii codes which you can use. Ascii codes are used by keeping the ALT key pressed and type the ascii code from the number keypad of your keyboard. Like » (ALT+175) Π(ALT+489) and so one!
Jeff, A little request! If you are going to use these things on t-shirt I would really appreciate if you somehow put “pickmore.com” there too!
