Korean Emoticons

Living in Korea you meet Korean people who will text you and facebook  you. You read Korean websites and see Korean everywhere so it kind of comes in handy to know what on earth the meaning of the emoticons are.
I personally think they are spectacular and superior to the western emoticons. Maybe this is because I like cute things, so here is a quick key to the main ones used.
