The symbol is part of a punctuation group which makes up an emotican. There are three punctuation symbols ^-) and all I am asking for is the name of the first symbol so that I can identify it when going through my punctuation symbols on my mobile phone. Without knowing what it is called when I arrow through the list, I cannot choose it, that is all I am asking, its name.
