How to Type Smiley Faces

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Creating smileys is a popular activity for many using the computer and if you can't make smileys, you may just be feeling a little left out. This wikiHow shows you how to make smileys and indicates the meaning that accompanies each smiley - because there is a meaning, providing you know what it is!

Steps

1. Learn the basic smiles and the meaning that accompanies each. The following list provides you with the major smiley emoticons (emotional icons). Most of them are drawn sideways, that is you might see the intended image better if you tip your head to the left.
