Skype
Classic (smiley) emoticons
Skype uses parenthesised codes — `(smile)`, `(party)`, `(beer)` — to render its iconic animated emoticons. The codes still work in modern Skype, Teams Free, and many third-party apps.
How to use: Type the parenthesised code in any chat. Skype auto-converts it to the animated sticker.
