Facebook is a social networking website that helps keep you in touch with family and friends. In addition to sharing and commenting on status updates, you can also send messages and, when another user is online, chat. Facebook's chat feature supports many popular signs, also called emoticons. When typed, these emoticons turn into graphic icons -- for example, smiley faces. You can learn make these emoticon signs in Facebook Chat by following a few steps.
Instructions
1. Log into Facebook at its website.
2. Click on the "Chat" tab at the bottom of the screen and click on a friend's name to open a chat window.
3. Insert your cursor into the text box at the bottom of the chat window.
4. Type an emoticon into this window. You can use a number of chat emoticons. For instance, typing :) displays a smiley face. Entering :v inserts a tiny Pac-Man icon. An angel emoticon can be shown by typing O:). All you need to remember is that these emoticons are not icons that you click on to display during chat. You must type out keyboard symbols to make them work.
