<p>When writing online, it can sometimes difficult to express emotion with plain text.
   These little icons can help.  </p>
   
<p>To insert these icons in your text: just click the icon above, or type the associated text code directly in your text.</p>

<p>Note that the codes themselves are like little pictures - just turn your head to the left when looking at them</p>
