Text Emoticons

Hello folks,

with creative text emoticons you may express your actual mood, without a written word in chats, mails or messages.

There’re plenty of creative text emoticons, use western style text emoticons :) or Kaomojis (^_^).

I’ll show you the common used emoticons from both styles. I added a description but most of them you can use in several ways.

Copy them directly to your online communications or build new text emoticons out of them.

Thank you Professor Scott E. Fahlman, for the creation of the very first text emoticon. <3
