How to Insert Emoticons in Discussion Board Posts

[southernfriedbelle]

As the title indicates, this is not a selling post, but I can't figure out where to ask, and I know you all can probably help. If I need to request to have the thread moved to another board, please let me know which one, and I'll do so.

My question is, how do l type in common emoticons, emojis, smileys, whatever they're called? I've figured out a few (happy, surprised, sad), but not any others.

When I searched the Community, I found this thread,  which is helpful:

And this one, but the link takes me to a 404 Error page:

http://community.ebay.com/t5/About-the-Community/Welcome-to-Our-New-Emojis/m-p/26757491#M5

I realize this is a bit frivolous, but would appreciate your help! 🙂

Yep... device, OS, APP, Browser

it will look different depending on what you are using.

Which was what intiated the thread. I was looking for a way to insert or type the emojis/emotions just using keystrokes so they would display the same universally, across different systems and formats.

I only use my phone or tablet right now, as my desktop is a dinosaur and constantly freezes. I don't have a laptop, cuz we're cash strapped  and can't afford it. 😞

My laptop is old also. I can't download on it. Normally use Chrome on it, but it won't open. I only open it when a question like this comes up, or checking on things that the phone won't do.
My child's laptop is win 8 on it which does show the emojis. Don't like it at all. iPhone it is for now.
