Once you’re in Skype just take the bolded word I’ve listed below in brackets, cut and paste the whole lot (brackets included) and press enter. Unfortunately I can’t cut and paste them into this post in all their animated glory, so you’re just going to have to go on over to Skype and check out what these actually look like yourself (that, or use some of them tonight on your unsuspecting long distance partner and check them out that way).Ĭhecking out the hidden skype emoticons is easy. Here’s a look at some of those that might come in handy for you on Skype. That’s happened most often when one of us has used one of the hidden skype emoticons. More than once when Mike and I have been chatting on skype, a well-used emoticon has conveyed something surprising and non-verbal and made me laugh. But then I started actually thinking about emoticons.

When I first read that, all that resounded in my head was a great big sarcastic “duh”. Even exclamation points, in moderation, are helpful.” “Consider using “emoticons”: the 🙂 😉 and 🙁 as well as other symbols.

I was reading a book on long distance relationships recently when I came across a sentence–tucked into a section on communicating via email and Skype–that made me roll my eyes. Do you feel limited by the sweet but over-used 🙂 emoticon on Skype? Looking for something slightly more edgy to express yourself? If so, this post about hidden skype emoticons is for you.
