Skype Hidden Emoticons: Skype is the most widely used free calling software, with millions of users worldwide. You can add Skype emoticons to your mood message to let your pals know how you’re feeling, or you can use them to liven up your instant message conversations.
Each emoticon is indicated by a shortcode, which is a collection of symbols (punctuation marks, letters, and special signs) or a single word enclosed in brackets. You can utilize the emoticon palette or write the shortcode of the emoticon you want to use straight in the chat or mood message box.
