A 'Dicitionary' of Smileys, Emoticons or Letter-Faces
and their meaning or symbolism
The idea behind the following list or 'dictionary' of (not only)
"smileys" (letter-faces or 'emoticons') is to stick to sign-combinations that might work intuitively without an
explanation... Of course you can freely create combinations... [e.g.: "weeping with joy" would be clear: :..-) ]
Enjoy to use them to make texts more emotional!
