I always felt like the smiling emoticon looks a little cheeky when it has a nose: :-)

So, sometimes I use it precisely for that purpose, like when I'm making a cheeky joke, but yeah, usually I'm using :) and similar instead.

Usually not :) But I prefer to use to use emojis anyway ๐Ÿคท ๐Ÿซด It just feels like progress, no more ascii workarounds โฌ†๏ธ

ASCII is a like --- a state of mind, man! :-)

Nose is such a weird thing in emoji and it's too big anyway. Unless it's indicating smell or something i wouldn't use it. ยฏ\_( ยด _ `)_/ยฏ

#<{:-P

Sometimes...

The thing that bothered me was my left-handed friend who typed them "backwards"

(-:

I read years and years ago that a study was done, that when confronted with emoji (then called emoticons), a viewer felt a stronger attachment to those with a nose :-/ than one without a nose :/

Since then, always noses for me! :-#

:) for monospaced fonts and :-) for variable-width fonts.

Is that even an option? I do not currently, but it seems like a good n thing to enable on your spouse's phone...

They don't mean emojis: ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿซค โ˜น๏ธ
but rather emoticons: :) :/ :(

And there you can have noses: :-) :-/ :-(
