sms emoticon easter-egg

jwardneosoft · 02/20/2004, 01:00 PM

I discoverd that even though the straight-face smiley is not in the pop-up list, (colon bar) :|

it shows a face when it comes through.

Any other hidden smiley's out there?

:| straight face
:! face w/ long tongue?

any more?

sweet!
" :¡ " makes a teal and black ying-yang
:¡ is colon exlimation then the alt button.

:% is ying-yang
:¡ is ying-yang with !

I think the :-! or :! is a "smoking smile". Looks like a cigarette and a couple puffs of smoke to me.

I looked and couldn't find any other hidden ones besides the ying-yang :% and straightface :|

Though I did notice that on most of the smilies the '-', nose, is optional.

On my Sprint/CDMA phone here's what I've seen:

Code:

`---------------------------------------------------'

The last four there are "hidden" emoticons, i.e. they are not present in the Emoticon pop-up menu.

P.S. I just checked this post on mobile and the supposed mono-spacing doesn't work there. Sorry about that ugly formatting, it looks fine in netscape!

(*&^#!!!!!!!

The smiley breakdances while the SMS app vibrates and plays the theme song from "Beat Street".

(before 50 of you out there try this .. if you aren't already .... it was a joke)

You have resurrected a 3 1/2 year old Treo 600 thread.
