The following were invented by a member of my old school, anonymous only
becuase I haven't a clue whose they are:

       *:-)     Happy punk

       <|-)     Happy Chinaman

      s(:-)     Happy man with toupee

       ::-)     Four-eyed smiley

        O_\     Double width smiley     NB. These are not proper smileys
        O /

        *_I     Dazed smiley
        * I

        /O__/   Sad smiley
        \O  \

I'm sure there are uses for the following chars, but I haven't found any yet

$        and the like

         #####
        #/\#
       [| o o |]
        |  L  |
        | \_/ |
         \___/


I don't suppose for a moment that any of these are copyright, so I won't
bother with a legal bit  8-)
However, anyone caught using the  #ߏ , other than my insane self, may be
liable to funny looks and severe frowning at.

If you think of any more, you could mail me if you can be bothered...
