One of the best ways to express your feeling and emotions (while in a chat) is by using emoticons or smileys. These are quite unique in style, super cute and fun to use. These have been available for quite sometime (even the old version of Skype have this feature), however it was only because of Whatsapp that these got so much popularity.
Whatsapp has a huge list of emoticons divided into several categories – based on types, special occasions, activities and other random things. With the availability of so many different emoji’s, the usage also got varied. Now people not only use them for chatting purposes but also have created fun games using these. “Guess the names” and “emoticons stories” puzzles are so much popular on Whatsapp.
Tapping the same popularity, Google Hangout (just like Whatsapp) offers a huge list of emoticons for Android Mobiles, iPhones and Chrome extension. These are structured in various categories.

Emoticons from iPhone to Android
As you can already see above that the emoticons are different that on iPhone and the ones on Android. So what if you send a message from iPhone to Android. For example you sent a flag from iPhone to Android mobile. Now what will happen is Android will try to map it to a particular emoticon in its own list. In most cases it fill find an alternate emoticon compatible with your phone. So for flag – France flag from iPhone comes as “FR” in android.
More Hidden Google Hangout Emoticons
Below is a list of the ways to bring up some more hidden emoticons to already so good hangout emoticon library.
I am trying to search for more apps (available in Google Play store) which will give access to lot more emoticons. Will search and update here (let us know if you are already aware of such apps).
Emoticons Shortcuts
Earlier we were used to the simple codes like :), 🙁 etc.. however these don’t work anymore. If you types these codes (as it is being mentioned on internet by lot of blogs), these will not get transformed to any smiley. These will go just as plain text, so point try to look for shortcuts or smiley codes. Use the ones already provided by Google hangouts.
