Complete list of Facebook Chat Emoticons

Submitted by Caleb Brown on Wed, 23/04/2008 - 11:07pm.

While playing with Facebook Chat I wondered if it supported emoticons. Turns out it does. But when I tried the >:-) emoticon (a 'devil') and saw it printed as boring text, I wondered, "what smilies does facebook actually support?"

So with the help of Safari and some javascript hacking I present to you a complete list of facebook emoticons.

That would be because the sports ones are not actually used by Facebook.

They were a suggestion from a reader of this blog, who hasn't the slightest clue what's going on, and either thinks the author has the ability to add emoticons to Facebook or doesn't realize this is talking about Facebook Chat at all.

Either way, he wasn't saying those emoticons exist. He was asking the author to create some for him. Like a nublet.

By saying 'it only works on

By saying 'it only works on facebook chat' they mean it doesn't work on the facebook comments, wall, messages, etc., It only works on the chat. There is no need for you to be rude so if you're going to comment then make it helpful.
