Emoticons/Smileys are a good source of entertainment while chatting

This is the list of emoticons/smileys that should work inside Gmail Chat.Unlike any other messenger,these graphics are animated out of simple text to make it attractive

Note::These graphics would be available only to the person who is chatting inside Gmail.Not for those using Google Talk

Emoticon	Key Combination
Heart!	<3
It's a monkey!	:(\|)
Rock out.	\m/
Shout!	:-o
show your teeth	:D
Sadistic	:(
Crying	x-(
Cool	B-)
Tears	:'(
laughing	=D
tricky	;)
sorrow	:-\|
smile	=)
teeth!	:-D
tip	;^)
tricky!?!	;-)
lol	:-)
about to..	:-/
small laugh	:P

But I tried out these in Google Talk.The result I saw was not an animated icon but a blue graphic for most of them.You can see in the picture below

P.S. Don't get confused... These emoticons/smileys are for chatting only and will not work when integrated inside a mail
