Skype
Skype has a series of emoji-like emoticons which have their own distinct animated appearance. A subset of Skype emoticons are available in Microsoft Teams.
The Skype emoticon set differs from the emoji set from parent company Microsoft, which is used as the system-wide emoji font in Windows 10.
Skype uses its own system of shortcodes to enter each emoticon, for instance:
- :^) = 🤨
- (cwl) = 😂
- (stareyes) = 🤩
Many Skype-specific smileys and emoticons do not have equivalents in the Unicode Standard.
