As I'm a frequent user of smileys (or emoticons) I thought it would be nice to include a small reference guide of these handy text-enhancing (and off course sweet) buddies.
This Guide is by no means complete, it's just a short entry into the wonderfull world of asian typing (^o^)

The one's I prefer to use are 'Korean-Styled'. In my opinion they're more expressive an less silly then the European / American ones. The whereabouts of this typical form of smiley traces itself back to battle.net. This is an online service of game-developer blizzard entertainment, the creators of the War- and Starcraft, as well as the Diablo-franchise. This online battle.net service enables players form all over the world to compete against each other.
As playing computer games is a possible form of employment in South-Korea the online gaming industry is very focussed on fulfilling their every need. The use of their smileys is a direct example of this.

Okay, now that's been clearified let's get on with the guide:

Expressing emotions:
(^_^) = smile

(^o^) = laughing out loud

d(^_^)b = thumbs up (not ears)

(T_T) = sad (it's a crying face)

(-.-)Zzz = sleeping

(Z.Z) = sleepy person

\(^_^)/ = cheers, hurrah

(*^^*) = shyness

(-_-); = sweating (as in ashamed)

(^_^);; = sorry! my mistake

(?_?) = nonsense, i don't know

(^_~) = wink

(o.O) = surprise

v(^_^)v = victory

(>^_^)> = hugging

(>^_^)> <(^_^<) = hugging each other (^o^)

Animals:
>))))'> = a fish

>))))'><'((((< = kissing fish (^o^)

<')++++< = a fish bone

Vm~ = a fox

() () = a rabbit
(^.^)

(^(oo)^) = a pig

('v')
(( )) = a bird
-"-"-

()()() ()()()
(-(-(-.-)-)-) = rabbit gang

= = = = :} = a snake


Things:
@}-;--`-- = a rose

>(/////)< = a candy

=]::::::> = a sword

---E = a fork

(=^_^=) = a cat

||||||////////////////### = a Cigarette break
