Emoticons

Here is a formal list of all the emoticons (smilies) that you can use in your WordPress.com comments.

Thanks to Bryan for demonstrating the technique of using quoted strings to display individual emoticon texts without having them translated.

NOTE: Do not type the double-quote marks surrounding the emoticon text:

	“:)”	“:-)”	“:smile:”
	“:D”	“:-D”	“:grin:”
	“:(”	“:-(”	“:sad:”
	“:o”	“:-o”	“:eek:”
	“8O”	“8-O”	“:shock:”
	“:?”	“:-?”	“:???:”
	“8)”	“8-)”	“:cool:”
	“:x”	“:-x”	“:mad:”
	“:P”	“:-P”	“:razz:”
	“:|”	“:-|”	“:neutral:”
	“;)”	“;-)”	“:wink:”
	“:lol:”
	“:oops:”
	“:cry:”
	“:evil:”
	“:twisted:”
	“:roll:”
	“:!:”
	“:?:”
	“:idea:”
	“:arrow:”
	“:mrgreen:”

NOTE: At this time, there is no way to modify the smilies.
