Discover and Use Emoticons for SKYPE Messages

Discover and Use emoticons for SKYPE messages

Jaak Parik, UX designer for Skype in Tallinn, Estonia, says, "Emoticons make Skype Instant Message conversations richer and help people to show what they really mean in their conversation. The specialness of our emoticons is due to the fact that we get ideas and inspirations from our colleagues and user community." Liven up your Instant Messages (IM) with emoticons and let your friends know how you’re feeling. Skype 5.5 comes with these new cool emoticons (highfive) (hifive) (h5)

(facepalm) (fail)

(fingers) (fingerscrossed) (yn)

(wfh) Working from home

(tumbleweed)

(waiting) (forever) (impatience)

(lalala) (lala) (notlistening)

Heart (h) or (H) or (I) or (L) Star (*) Coffee (coffee)

(heidy) By default Skype includes one-click access to less than 72 emoticons running the gamut from putting lipstick onto sending a rain cloud and everything in between. Skype has a great set of built in emoticons but there are dozens of more….”fun” ones that you can’t access from the menu. Skype’s holding out on you.  What if you’re in the mood to moon somebody?

 Or maybe the person you’re talking with has driven you to bang your head on the wall? There’s an emoticon for that…. You can find an expanded list of emoticons right here, along with each one’s keyboard shortcut. But wait, there’s still more ! In addition to the multitude of smileys, Skype also includes emoticons for nearly every country under the sun, even Canada. Get your scroll wheel ready and spy an expanded cheat sheet here below. If nothing else, memorize these ten mostly self-explanatory emoticon shortcuts and you’ll be prepared for just about any situation: 1. (puke) 2. (party)

3. (finger)

4. (swear)

5. (banghead)

6. (tmi)

7. (drunk)

8. (punch) 9. (v) 10. (n) If you mouse over all of the icons in the menu, you’ll see what the code for them is, i.e (giggle) (h) (y) etc But …there are some other emoticons Skype doesn’t tell you about. Try the following for a little fun:

Envy- yellow to green (envy)

Smoking (smoke) or (ci)

Pool Party (poolparty)

You rock (rock)

Skype (skype) or (ss)

Mail (m) or (e)
