This website presents emoticons which can be used on Google products, like Google+, Gmail, gTalk and others. In all websites emoticons are simply inserted by writing emoticon shortcut and writing it into the chat input field or status field, or you can copy and paste shortcut from this website. When you send your update the shortcut will transform into image, sometimes animated, and your friends will see funny little Google emoticon.
On some products you can also insert additional emoticons, but you would have to install some browser plugins. We will also give you information which browser plugins are best for adding new Google emoticons and which are safe to use.
If some product don’t offer inserting emoticons you can still insert ASCII emoticons. ASCII emoticons are symbols which are made by composing different characters which all together make one picture. They can be made in one line, they are the most popular, but they can also span across multiple lines, making beautiful ASCII art.
These are the default Google emoticons:
