I think my digital camera is dying - it's 4 or 5 years old, after all - but it's taking a loooong time to write the picture to the card, even though the batteries are freshly charged, and I've tried two different sets of freshly charged batteries. *sigh*

Seems to be used more often in anime-fandom circles, like things like T_T which is supposed to indicate crying or some such. (I think I've got the middle character wrong, but I don't use *quite* that many different smileys.)

They are even more fun when you work with non-English characters and symbols represented in unicode XDD (but alas, ms paint doesn't support foreign language...)

I like the one with the two characters that look like backwards 7s on their side as eyes, so you get someone looking to one side with a flat or annoyed expression on ther face.

I've also seen one somewhere that was someone offering you tea. *damns the characters set available to us typing in Western languages*

but you know...there are these nifty "emoticon buns" you can download that feature emoticons based on just about every language on Earth...(but you have to have your own image hosting...)

a bun I use a lot on forums:
more examples (don't you wish DA had these...? >_< ):
