Emoticons can be made using the entire range of the ASCII character set, granting quite a number of variations of theme. For example, if a user wears glasses he or she may substitute an 8 for the "eyes": 8). Certain other facial features are also optional: hair (e.g. @:-) ), the nose ( :-) vs. :) ), or any feature above or below the mouth ( :-)~, indicates that someone might be "drooling").
