How to Add Emoticons in a Gmail message.

While I was searching for a easy way to insert Gmail Emoticons in my emails, I came across UserScripts. They have a small script which is available for download/install by which you can add an “Emoticons” link next to “Check Spelling” in the Gmail Compose Window, which opens up a new/small window with lots of emoticons to choose from.The current pack they have is like this

How to Add the script?

The easiest way to just drag from the emoticon window into your compose-box. Be careful with this method, because if you drop the emoticon OUTSIDE the compose box, your PAGE WILL CHANGE. Hopefully Gmail’s autosave will save you if that happens. So drop with care.

Second way of doing this is, open up the emoticon window, select the icon you want, Press CTRL+C or right click, select copy and paste it in your gmail message by either pressing CTRL+V or right clicking and selecting paste.
