Many emoticons are available for Facebook's chat feature, but most emoticon codes are hidden from the average user. Learn to add more emoticons to your Chat.

Step 1: Go to Facebook's Help Center
Go to Facebook's Help Center for a short list of chat emoticons common to most chat apps, such as a colon and right parentheses to represent a smiley face.

Tip
Less common emoticon keyboard combination codes include a colon and a capital V to symbolize a Pac-Man icon.

Step 2: Download Firefox
Download the latest version of Mozilla's Firefox browser if you don't already have it. Then go to Mozilla's "Add-ons for Facebook" page.

Step 3: Download the Facebook Chatbar App
Download the Facebook ChatBar App. Close and restart Firefox, and then log on to Facebook. The ChatBar adds a set of emoticon icons to the top of the Facebook chat window.

Tip
As with all browser apps, Firefox's Facebook ChatBar App's performance results may be mixed.

Step 4: Click on a ChatBar icon
Click on a ChatBar icon to easily insert it into your chat window text, eliminating the need to memorize more complicated emoticon key combination codes.

Step 5: Experiment with emoticons
Experiment in the Facebook chat window with combinations of symbols and letters, using codes from Facebook groups to create your own emoticons.
