Wikipedia:Emoticons

Here are some emoticons for you to use on user and talk pages. They are presented below for your copy-and-pasting convenience.

Template:Smiley
The template or  may be used to produce many different smilies.

Template:Emoji
Use with a Unicode number to insert an emoji (for instance,   = ).

Template:Emote
This template is meant to allow people to conveniently use the Unicode emoticons. It is used by using, where "xxx" includes the unicode number or text shortcut.

The names from the mouseover text above work if used directly, and usually if condensed to a key word ("grinning" or "unamused" for example). The templates involving the cat have shortcuts like "cat wry", "heart-shaped" is abbreviated to "heart", "open mouth" is usually omitted, closed = "tightly-closed eyes". Look at the source (or add your own shortcut) if your first try doesn't work.

One parameter "color" is accepted. The template doesn't take a size parameter because it displays text which can easily be resized with &lt;big>. Usually, to avoid disrupting the flow of lines with oversized icons, it's best to put up with a small size or, preferably, use them in headers.

This template isn't meant to work with images like in Template:Like and Template:Dislike do. The goal is to blend seamlessly into the normal processing of text.

Template:Emojus
This template embeds one emojus based on a textual description, the way that desktop applications like Discord specify them. So, for example,  is. This is a work in progress.
