The symbol ":-)" means "please do not be offended by this; take this with
a smile". :-) It was the only such smiley symbol once formally defined for
Internet use, even a prgram I have provides the following 24 symbols:
:-) smile
:-} grin
:-D laughing
:-x kiss, kiss
:-* Oops!
:-o Oh, no!
:-I puzzled
:-, Hmmmmm
:-C unbelievable
:-( frown
:-c unhappy
:-V shout
;-) wink
:-] smirk
:-B drooling
:-X wet kiss
:^D Great!
:-? licking lips
:-\ undecided
|-) asleep
8-) wide-eyed
:-< mad
:-[ pouting
|-{ Good grief!
Are these symbols part of some LaTeX package? (I must link this back to
the discussions of this list. :-) )
