Usage notes

The Unicode symbol is rarely used in practice as the :) and :-) forms are easier to type, while programs that display smilies will often use custom images as this allows more flexibility. However, some of those programs may automatically replace ☺ with a custom image, such as social networks' emoji implementations.
