Hi Jackie,
It's quite common to see the symbols used, but when sent and
seen at the other end, if the recipient's phone is able to
see them they will.
Tricky to explain other than it's a bit like looking at the
raw HTML code on a web page, compared to seeing that web
page in Explorer.
George.

Interesting Barry, thanks. Someone was asking me how to
insert them recently and I knew you could, but didn't know
how to. I've worked out the smiley and sad faces, but my
son interestingly told me that on my phone, which is the
N91, TALKS says smiley face, but the screen shows the
symbols I used to make it up. He said that on his Ericsson
that he used to have, the faces actually appeared for real
like they do on MSN.
It's just as quick for me to write out smiley face in a text
than insert the symbols, but I wanted to know how to do it.
Thanks.
Jackie

Hi, they are called emoticons - someone was being
smart at the time! They are included on the insert
character list that you are using, but only on some phones,
for instance, my old 7610i, but not on others, so you may be
unlucky.
Be warned though, they actually take up quite a
surprising number of the characters that you are allowed per
message - take a look at the number of characters remaining
before and after you add an emoticon to a message, I was
very surprised. I can't remember how many it is, as it's a
while since I used them...
All the best,
Barry

No I'm not kidding. Unless there's a third
party application, the only way to insert emoticons is to
use the select symbols list. To be honest, I don't use them
personally, and I ask my friends not to, as it's too much
hassle as you can see.

Chris you're kidding. Does that
mean you have to press the star to access the menu for each
one because how else could you do it? Is there a list of
these emotions to your knowledge?
Thanks, I'll have a play and see
what happens.

Jackie, you have to know the ascii
character combination in order to produce an emoticon. For
example, a smiley would be typed as a colon, followed by a
dash, followed by a closing parenthesis. Hope that helps.

emotions on a Nokia mobile using TALKS
Hi Guys
How do you insert an emotion into
your text using a Nokia mobile with TALKS? I've been asked
how to do this and I'm buggered if I can find anything on
mine that does it. Do you need predictive text on to get it
because I don't use that. By pressing the star key, it
brings up a whole list of symbols you can insert into text
like hyphens and other punctuation, but not smiley faces,
sad faces and winks etc. TALKS does recognise them when
they appear in text messages I receive, but I can't
reproduce them myself, and a friend has asked me how to do
it too.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Jackie
