A smiley is a sequence of characters. If you don't see it, try tilting your head to the left -- the colon represents the eyes, the dash represents the nose and the right parenthesis represents the mouth. Smileys usually follow after the end of a sentence. A smiley tells someone what you really mean when you make an offhand remark. They are also called emoticons
because they intend to convey emotion!
Some people consider these "straight-on smileys" as another form of ASCII ART: those in which you do not tilt your head but rather look at it straight on, such as @(*0*)@ for a koala.
