Make Emoticons

Many people use emoticons to display what their body language or actions would be if they were able to show the person. So instead of simply typing hello, the user is able to say hello and smile, then wink. The meaning behind what they are saying becomes much clearer and much more illusive at the same time.

Emoticons are designed to be simple. They are designed to be easily typed or chosen in the natural flow of an Internet conversation. Many people use emoticons in order to make their conversation seem more real. Others however get interested in emoticons and want to learn more about them.

So that they can then design their own emoticons and wow their chatting partners. The best use however for an emoticon is to cut down the chance of you’re message being misconstrued by the reader. Many people shy away from using chat programs because they can never get across what they actually mean. But with emoticons they are able to fully express their tone.

Emoticons use what is called a BBCode to create small pictures that represent humanity. BBCode is not case sensitive and can sometimes provide some difficulties which transference between programs. The very simple codes like = and ) (which looks like a smiley face when coded into your program) work on every platform. If you are planning to make emoticons you need to stick to one platform to get it working before moving on to another platform.
