Why these emoticon do not translate automatically in emoji in message? I
s there a way to do that?
Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), Mac Pro early 2008
Goto System Preferences > Keyboard, select Text
Be sure you've enabled "Correct spelling automatically"
From the menu bar: Edit > Emoji & Symbols to open the Emoji window
Add entries with tekst you want to replace and drag an Emoji to the field 'With'
Happy texting
The reason they don't convert to emoji is because they're missing the dash. If you want to type and have them convert, you would need to type :-), ;-) and so forth. I often type what you showed in your post just to avoid things converting to ridiculous cartoons.
I clicked solved by mistake... 😉 Here on this forum (Not sure we can still call it a forum with the new interface) typing ";)" is automatically transformed in 😉 .... Good! But it is not like that on in my message app so young audience with don't event know ";)" means 😉 tell me I have problems with my emoji...
Is there a way to have ";)" I mean 😉 without to waste the time to click, then scroll, then chose the right emoji (emoticon, I mean)

This is great! Thank you cavemees!
So now you have to be a power user to use a Mac... 😉
OT: About the new UI here (new from 2014... but I can't get use to it) I found this on another site
Quite honestly I thought Apple's Discussions were significantly more useful quite a while ago when you could simply browse through the ongoing discussions in the various categories. You could see who was posting and you could either answer a question, tag along with a relevant question in an ongoing discussion, or start a new thread. There was a real sense of belonging and you could almost get to know the major contributors to the discussions. I find the forums somewhat less useful and helpful in the newer versions.
What people used to it think now?
