"Every talk has a length of 18 minutes and is supposed to be as captivating as possible." this is just wrong(first part of the statement). someone should edit it out. 108.162.219.24 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

I have found a solution! As it turns out, There are people who make Unicode emojis that you can use in web browsers. Go figure. 😄 --JayRulesXKCD (talk) 12:11, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Emojis are not emoticons though 162.158.214.58 19:38, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Except they are, and they're better than emoticons --JayRulesXKCD ^{what's up?} 10:20, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

just realized, you can put a c like this:

linux (or bsd c:)

just don't make the c uppercase near a bunch of windows users xd
