With MSN Messenger 6.2's "new" feature, you can see the emoticons in real time when you type their codes. But hey, have you ever wonder how to see

in real time then? Obviously typing <:o) sequentially doesn't work, because Messenger replaces :o with

immediately when you type them and so it looks like <

) . If you really want to know a workaround, here it is...
1. Type <o) first
2. Between the
< and
o, insert a
: . Bingo!
