Icons for Smileys, Smiley Faces and Winks in Microsoft's MSN Messenger

"Emoticons" is a word created from the combination of the words emotion and icon. They are icons that express emotions.

These are graphic icons that you can use in Microsoft's MSN Messenger program and other instant messanging software by entering a keyboard shortcut combination.

Some of these keyboard shortcuts for msn messenger emoticons will work in other instant messaging programs like Yahoo Messenger, Skype, Gtalk, AIM etc.

Many are based on combinations used in e-mail and sms messaging before graphics were available and can still be used for that purpose.

Since the first version of msn instant messenger which has been released in 1999 a lot has changed. Now MSN is featured with msn messenger winks but also there's a complete msn messenger online version of it, called web msn messenger. Not to forget the rebranding of the instant messanger product from msn messenger hotmail to live msn messenger.
