Emoticons and Other Facebook Tricks

In almost seven years, Facebook has captured over 600 million users and that number continues to grow. The ‘powers that be’ are constantly changing, updating and tweaking Facebook. While most people wait to see the new and exciting features from each update, you can read on for a few features you can try the next time you log in.
Bold Characters
Surround your text with stars to get bold text in the chat box. For example: * Hi! How are you? * will show up as Hi! How are you? 
Underlined Characters
Surround your text with underscores to get underlined text in the chat box. For example: _I’m doing well. How are you doing?_ will show up as I’m doing well. How are you doing.
Shapes
There are several different shapes you can use when chatting.
<(“) = penguin
(^^^) = shark
<3 = heart
:putnam:  = man’s head/face
The list of smiley faces you can use in chat is lengthy, but here are a few unique options:
8-) = glasses
:-* = lips
8-| = sunglasses
O:) = angel
:|] = robot
