List of Emoticons
An emotion icon, better known by the portmanteau emoticon (/ɨˈmoʊtɨkɒn/) is a metacommunicative pictorial representation of a facial expression that, in the absence of body language and prosody, serves to draw a receiver'sattention to the tenor or temper of a sender's nominal verbal communication, changing and improving its interpretation. It expresses — usually by means of punctuation marks (though it can include numbers and letters) — a person's feelings or mood, though as emoticons have become more popular, some devices have provided stylized pictures that do not use punctuation.Western
Western style emoticons are mostly written from left to right as though the head is rotated counter-clockwise 90 degrees. One will most commonly see the eyes on the left, followed by the nose (often not included) and then the mouth. Typically, a colon is used for the eyes of a face, unless winking, which uses a semicolon. However, an equal sign, a number 8, and a capital letter B are also used interchangeably to refer to normal eyes, widened eyes, or those with glasses. One can also add a "}" after the mouth symbol-"(", ")", etc.—to indicate a beard.

DAVID tells his story
ANNE
What happened? Why did you stop writing?
DAVID
I started my course at University. It was very difficult. Computer science isn’t for me.
ANNE
Did you fail your exams?
DAVID
Yes. I let everyone down. I just wanted to die. Dad must be so angry.
ANNE
He’s just worried about you, David.
DAVID
I didn’t know what to do. I was so confused. I had to find a job. I couldn’t use father’s money any more. So, I applied for a job at the Markets. Phil was very kind. He agreed to give me a job if I could get a working visa.
ANNE
How did you?
DAVID
I went home and applied for it.
ANNE
You mean you went back to Singapore?
DAVID
Yes. I was too ashamed to see anyone. I’m such a failure.
