2. Just copy or type these into the chat window.
3. Hit enter.
To ensure that the smiley is correctly displayed at other party end, you need to make sure that your friend is using the latest version of Skype otherwise these may not appear properly.
If you compare these Skype emoticons with other client like Yahoo etc, then these are slightly more advanced and adult (rude, smoking etc). These are quite animated and look nice as these are 25x25 pixels.
Skype emoticons (bandit) (drunk) (finger) (headbang) (banghead) (mooning) (rock) (smoking) (smoke) (ci) (toivo) work with Skype 2.5 and 3.0!
Smileys (bug) (fubar) (poolparty) (swear) (tmi) work only with Skype 3.0 and up!
