Ask HN: How to design private messaging emoticons?
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=238296I have a social networking site that I have coded myself. I have an option there for members to send comments back and forth to each other. I want to enable 'emoticons'; but I am not sure how to do that.. Do I just put some 'special tags' in the comment and then decode while displaying? can someone offer any input on this?
