Along with the most famous emoticons -- the smile, the frown, the grin, the gasp -- Facebook supports a winking face with a pair of puckered lips. This face is the "kiss" emoticon, a romantic symbol for messages to your significant other. Facebook includes a menu for inserting emoticons in messages, but this symbol list doesn't display the kiss smiley. To add the lips symbol to a message, you have type the symbol's keyboard shortcut.

Tip

• You will not see the converted symbol until you have sent the message.
