Well, you should be careful about eight-bit character codes. They do
not transmit well on the net, and can be displayed in the most amazing
ways on different computers. The above smiley seems to be a smiling
face with '10' written on the forehead (an upload smiley?).
One might hope for Unicode to solve the problems, but I doubt it.

This was fairly good, the character becomes a thick stroke, like a big
mouth saying something serious.
