Emotion for Facebook, Hidden Shortcut Keys

How to use Emoticons in Twitter and Facebook Status? Its been quite a while that I used Orkut now a days. From Orkut I remember how people used to use some Ascii emotions in their profile, nicknames and later in their status message. So I just tried it over facebook and twitter and it worked there too.

In addition to text-based IM, Facebook Chat's simple, embedded IM client also offers users a library of cute emoticons to help share your emotions. There are some special UTF compatible characters that can be used on a website just like a text. To create any of these emoticons, locate the symbols on your keyboard and enter them in the text field of your Facebook Chat IM window.


Remember, some symbols will require hitting the SHIFT key.

So now instead of putting a : ) emoticon you can use ☺
