Method 2 of 2: Create Emoticons by Typing on the Keyboard
Step 1. Create horizontal angry faces
These types of emoticons are considered "western" and are usually used in both text and chat rooms. Below are the most common angry faces of this type, which most chat applications will automatically convert to images:
- >:(
- >:@
- X (
- >8(
- :-||
Step 2. Create vertical angry smileys
They are considered "oriental" type faces and have become popular in Korea and Japan. There is much more variety than horizontal smileys, thanks to the use of special characters. Some characters will not be visible to everyone, especially those who use older devices. Some of these smileys have been nicknamed "Kirby" as they are reminiscent of the Kirby character from Nintendo games.
