Frowning face

I don’t know why anyone would want to find a sad MSN symbol, but here is one! It’s a little bit smaller than the happy face (because sad people are small people maybe?) but if you need to show someone that you’re not happy, you can always paste this into your chat box with them and let them know!

Big smile MSN symbol character

Another ‘cheat’ smiley face symbol, this one is the letter ‘U’ with two dots above it. Inside MSN, however, it looks like someone smiling from ear to ear! You can sometimes also find this one in your mobile phone too (so you can use an emoticon in your cellphone!).

Ok, that’s all the MSN smiley face symbols and characters for today – but check back again soon for more from us!

When I speak to people on MSN, I always warn them about copying all of my cool sayings and phrases and trying to tell people that they made them up.

Then I found the MSN trademark symbol. This special character is just like normal text – you can copy and paste it into your chats and statuses, as well as your MSN name. Have you ever seen a ™ inside someone’s name before? I bet you have! Now you can be the one who is showing off to others!

One of the best things about the internet is that it brings people together. When separated by thousands of miles, people can now communicate almost as if they were in the same room at the same time. One of the biggest factors in the change of the communication methods of normal people has been in the introduction of emailing as the defacto way of commincating.

Not only in business, but in the home, email has taken the place of the pen and paper and is now an indispensable form of technology. Pens and paper have become obsolete as email has swept through the world – many such companies must have gone bankrupt and out of business after email became so prevalent.

MSN and other chat programs have also been turned to as a legitimate form of talking with friends and keeping up with them. In MSN, people use symbols and emoticons to talk to each other – and one of those special characters is the MSN envelope symbol. Here it is:

One of the best things about MSN (Windows Live Messenger) is the ability for you to be able to use the emoticons and smileys that they include inside the software. Some new browsers, and some online versions or web versions of the software, however, don’t let you show the emoticons – so sometimes it’s easier to use the MSN symbols which are built in to windows itself.

They’re really easy to use – you can cut and paste them from below and put them directly into your MSN name and status.

One of the symbols which is extremely popular, especially for business people who use online chat systems such as Windows Live Messenger, is the MSN telephone symbol.

Whatever you choose, you can find the MSN telephone symbols here:
