I think you misunderstood it a bit. The question here is not to replace the default emoticons with your own custom ones (aka skinning the default emoticons), like StuffPlug can do.
He wants to control what the contact sees, thus sometimes ":)" and sometimes "
".

"hi! :) how are you? "
This is not possible, with any tool, since you can not control what your contact sees. What your contacts sees depends only on what that contact has enabled in his settings (Tools > Options > Messages > Show emoticons).

That character code is still there. It is just that Plus! will try to interpret that character as a color code prefix. This means that it will only work if the contact has also Plus! installed and running, and that you con't use other colors in your text.
Contacts without Plus! will still see:
"Hello :)"
And using that shortcut CTRL+K will only work if you have enabled the use of the old IRC-style shortcuts in Plus!.
