Use emoticons in a message

To include an emoticon in a message, tap to display the symbol

keyboard, and then tap an emoticon key. Tap to return to the alphanumeric keyboard. If the emoticon you want is not available on the keyboard, use the table below to add keyboard character combinations for other emoticons. To learn about entering symbols and alternate characters, see Enter symbols and alternate characters. Most emoticons can be created by more than one combination. After you send the message, the emoticon image appears in the conversation on your device and on the recipient’s device, as long as the receiving IM application supports the image.

This table shows the emoticons that are supported on your device.

NOTE Emoticon combinations that use words, such as :cool or :cry, are not supported in most messaging applications. Emoticons created using these combinations may not appear correctly on the recipient’s device.
