Thanks for this description, but it does rather sound like the emoticon of a
smiley face is sideways on, with the eyes[2 dots of the colon] being one
above the other rather than side by side! -

| :) is a smile (round parenthesis not square brackets).
|
| The colon (one dot above another dot) represents two eyes; the curving
| right parenthesis represents a smiling mouth.
|
| I believe :-) means the same thing, with the addition of a hyphen
| between the eyes and smiling mouth representing a long straight nose.
