Most of you are already using smiley
emoticons in your communication. But for many people, that’s about it. So, Facebook
recently added a list of emoticons to help you express yourself a bit more than
text characters permit. The full list can be used in chat or private messages,
and some of the less complex ones can be used in comments on wall posts.
While using short messages to
communicate with your friends, emoticons can be considered as the simple
and the easiest way of telling other that what you are feeling at that
instance. They are able to add emotional context to what you say, and how you
say, enriching your capabilities to spice your communication with emotions and
associations.
All emoticons can be divided to several groups:
1. Standard Emoticons
2. Advanced Emoticons
3. Coded Emoticons
Besides some of the shown popular shortcuts, there are two
categories of emoticons, which require more time and efforts to add. The first
category represents popular names, for example, by typing the names of the
famous brands, you are calling the actual graphical emoticon associated with
it. Note that you need to put the word in the double square brackets to reach
desired effect.
Even bigger category of emoticons is compiled with the
numeric codes, which are probably hard to remember, therefore their usefulness
will be probably limited. For example, there are emoticons with different
countries’ flags:
4. Your Own Emoticons
And, finally, if you cannot find what you want on Internet,
you can generate your own emoticons from your own pictures with Online Generator.
It is really easy to make them with no coding or programming experience. All
you have to do is follow the 3 simple steps:
a.
Choose image file from your PC.
b.
Upload it.
c.
Get the code and paste it to Facebook.
Note that chat codes are the easiest way to send images in
Facebook chat. You can even create your own chat codes gallery by just saving
the codes on your computer and using them again later as all chat codes are
reusable.
