Comment Smilies and Symbols

[Jener8or]

This is a stupid question, but how do you post smilies and symbols in your game comments? I've seen guns, flags, hearts, and flowers, but don't know how to post them myself. :confused: (<like this one)
Sorry if this has already been discussed; I couldn't find another thread that asked/answered it.
Thanks!

I have no idea how to really get them, or if there is a code to use, but u can always copy/paste from others posts.
