What are Emoticons? Emoticons are those silly faces and funny pictures that kids and grown-ups make with the extra keys on their computer keyboard. You usually have to look at them sideways, and use your imagination, to see the picture. I've put some on this page, with an explanation of what they might mean. Do you have any that you like to use? :-) I'm happy ;-\ I've got a bug in my eye 88:-< This is a Bad Hair Day 8-) Like my new shades? :^) This is my best side for photos @>----- Would you like a rose?
