How do you make text emoticons?
There are several ways to make text emoticons, also known as "emoji" or "ASCII emoticons", using a combination of keyboard characters. Some famous examples include:
- :-) for a smiling face
- :-( for a sad face
- ;-) for a winking face
- :-P for a sticking-out tongue face
- (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ for a table flip
- ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) for Lenny face
You can also use different characters and symbols to create custom emoticons. The key is to use characters and symbols that, when combined, create the appearance of a face or an object.
Remember that all devices or platforms will recognize not all text emoticons.
