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.

frown - :-( :( :[ =(
tongue - :-P :P :-p :p =P
grin - :-D :D =D
gasp - :-O :O :-o :o

sunglasses- 8-| 8| B-| B|
grumpy - >:( >:-(
