Jackie, you have to know the ascii character combination in order to produce an emoticon. For example, a smiley would be typed as a colon, followed by a dash, followed by a closing parenthesis. Hope that helps.

I've been asked how to do this and I'm buggered if I can find anything on mine that does it. Do you need predictive text on to get it because I don't use that. By pressing the star key, it brings up a whole list of symbols you can insert into text like hyphens and other punctuation, but not smiley faces, sad faces and winks etc. TALKS does recognise them when they appear in text messages I receive, but I can't reproduce them myself, and a friend has asked me how to do it too. Thanks for any suggestions. Jackie
