Ah! now I see, i'm all still a bit new to this.

Smiley faces are:
: - ) = smiley - smiley
: - ( = smiley - sadface
;- ) = smiley - winkeye
8 - ) = smiley - bigeyes
> < > = smiley - fish

but do not include spaces, I had to put them in so you could see.
It is also possible to do smiley donuts but I havn't found out how yet.

Someone should write a h2g2 dictionary. I regularly use things like:
c(_) = cup
c(~) = cup (full)
I_I = Glass

That sort of thing. It would be handy for newcomers.
