Hi Larry! I was giving this a little more thought and was wondering if you're looking for the emoji/emoticon program for your PC or for a different device (and if so, what). Also, do you want it for use on this Wiki site or for other purposes (like other websites or chat or texting)?

I ask because Wiki doesn't accept copy-and-paste from Word fonts, otherwise on your PC I would just suggest using fonts in Word or Outlook. It would be laborious anyway. As for chat, most chat and instant messaging programs have their own built-in emoticons you can use. Those menus can be limited but at least it gives you something. As for texting, I have an older phone myself and, amongst other things I can't text, I can't use emoticons in it. So it could depend on your phone's texting capabilities.

If you are looking for this for your PC, I'm guessing what you don't have is either a touchscreen or Win 8.0 or higher, possibly both. Or else you have them but you either can't access the touch keyboard or it doesn't have all the emoticons you want. In any event, if you're looking for something to use here on this Wiki or other websites using your PC, the Wikipedia page on Emojis might be helpful for copy-and-paste ones. While font-based ones in Word or Outlook might not work, because website input is at least mostly HTML coding based, all the ones on the Wikipedia page should be usable since they are Unicode based and both Wikipedia and Wikia use the same markup language. I actually recognize most of them from my touch keyboard (see pasted samples below). I have even seen at least one Wiki member's profile page where that person has pasted emoticons on their profile for easy reference. It's still laborious but at least it's possible and you won't need a separate emoji program. Hope this helps.
