Emoticons are a simple way to disambiguate text messages and to add a human touch using a minimum amount of characters. While Gmail Chat supports many emoticons, the full lists of emoticons that can be used is much bigger. TKHere tried various combinations and found some undocumented emoticons in Gmail Chat:
In the screenshot above, you can see a diabolic creature (}:-)), a crab (V.v.V), a wince(>.<), a broken heart (</3), a kiss (:-x) and a mustache (:{).
These emoticons only work in the new version of Gmail and can be disabled in the chat section from the settings (note the cool permalink).
Meanwhile, the Japanese Gmail started to support emojis, pictograms popularized by i-mode mobile phones. "These images can be used as placeholders or icons to identify a link or other elements in your page. There are emoji of common use such as airplane or a train and there are some that may indicate emotions, sun, moon phases and more," explains The Wireless FAQ.

Sinographs of Kanji (Chinese character) originally evolved from graphics thousands years ago, and had become abstraction of graphics to represent objects and actions etc.
ReplyDeleteNow Japanese go back to the root, and use graphics again, in the ego system of computing devices like mobile and web.
Anyway, we are going to have to learn another fashionable language as it is going popular. What a fun.
you forgot the piggy!
ReplyDelete:(:)
Chintu,
ReplyDeleteDo you have any information from your Google contacts if they still have a team working on the Google Talk Desktop Client? Are they ever going to update the client? Should I consider moving to Yahoo messenger again?
@Anonymous:
ReplyDeleteApparently, the answer to your question is yes and we'll see a completely new version. I don't when it will be launched, though.
Here's an article that lists the various new emoticons.

ReplyDeleteCan everyone stop posting ones that are actually just lies. Some people are actually interested in these. And if youre not, and you think everyone is just wasting their time, why are you on here, readin the comments, and posting your own ones anyway? Seriously, its just pathetic of you.

ReplyDeletelook, you guys. :)
ReplyDeleteV.v.V is a lobster. did u know that on one of the styles the robot is a blue dude?? it's very cool. :)
:{ _-_ (that's not real)
I must say, it's rather intriguing to observe such conversational behaviour in terms of increasing hostility, redundance, irritability, and verbal monotony.
ReplyDeletePlease, continue.
U also 4got rock out man \m/>.<\m/! (u must do it in the YELLOW smiley box thing)
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I do agree with anonymous. People do believe in this stuff, and I do too! I spent so much useless times trying to make snowmans and angels that were posted here. People, can you please stop it? And I don't care if you object with this. That's your fault.
ReplyDeletethe snowman doesn't work....
ReplyDeleteOkay, I just want to say that NONE of you guys have lives. I know you are probably going to say I don't have one since I am on here too. But I was actually interested in finding emotes untill I read some of these comments. Most of these emotes don't even work.

}:) devil
V.v.V crab
it's not poop. it's a bee hive
ReplyDeleteI keep just reading the same ones over and over again... I understand that some people want to let the fact that they know them be known, but do you have to do it 30 times?? Anyways, some of these were very helpful, mostly towards the beginning, but some of them were not helpful in the least. Please don't post ones that simply look like them, but don't animate. Thanks for all of the functional ones!
ReplyDeleteI like how you guys are blaming the ones who repeat stuff for not having a life. Those people will be the ones with enough of a life that the don't immediately read every single comment. However, I must agree that some people do not realize: the point of this is gmail emoticons. Not simply stuff that looks like it, actual animated ones in gmail. The following DO NOT work:
ReplyDeletecat
cow
stick figure (or skateboard stick figure)
horse
penguin
gold bars
butterfly
homer simpson
kirby
glasses
claim of a different poop (*)~
BBC (I don't even get that attempt)
Have a nice day!
hey people how about sharp and penguin?
ReplyDeletesharp= (^^^)
