emoticon nicknames

Hi all ,

I see someone in Buzzen chat with an emoticon for there nickname. Would anyone care to share there wisdom how it is done hmm ? I think it looks pretty neat and wouldnt mind one myself. Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing it was through Unicode. That is what I used on MSN, WAY back in the day. I have no idea if MSN updated their OCX before closeing to disallow this.

You can only use basic emoticon codes now on any chat server that uses the MSN ocx. Unless they've edited it. Ex: 8o| 8-| etc. You cant do a smile, as they involve use of : and ).

So MSN did finally get rid of emoticons while I was away. Huh, guess my all smilie face name wouldn't have worked anymore, even if I did pay back then.
