[access-uk] Re: How to insert emotions on a Nokia mobile using TALKS

Interesting Barry, thanks.  Someone was asking me how to insert them recently 
and I knew you could, but didn't know how to.  I've worked out the smiley and 
sad faces, but my son interestingly told me that on my phone, which is the N91, 
TALKS says smiley face, but the screen shows the symbols I used to make it up.  
He said that on his Ericsson that he used to have, the faces actually appeared 
for real like they do on MSN.

It's just as quick for me to write out smiley face in a text than insert the 
symbols, but I wanted to know how to do it.

Thanks.

Jackie

  Hi, they are called emoticons - someone was being smart at the time!  They 
are included on the insert character list that you are using, but only on some 
phones, for instance, my old 7610i, but not on others, so you may be unlucky.

  Be warned though, they actually take up quite a surprising number of the 
characters that you are allowed per message - take a look at the number of 
characters remaining before and after you add an emoticon to a message, I was 
very surprised.  I can't remember how many it is, as it's a while since I used 
them...

  All the best,
  Barry

    No I'm not kidding. Unless there's a third party application, the only way 
to insert emoticons is to use the select symbols list. To be honest, I don't 
use them personally, and I ask my friends not to, as it's too much hassle as 
you can see.

      Chris you're kidding.  Does that mean you have to press the star to 
access the menu for each one because how else could you do it?  Is there a list 
of these emotions to your knowledge?

      Thanks, I'll have a play and see what happens.

        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.

          Hi Guys

          How do you insert an emotion into your text using a Nokia mobile with 
TALKS?  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
