These following symbols appear on my mobile phone and I’d like to know what they mean, do you know? Some I could have a guess at but others I haven’t a clue. I have put some on the Net to see what comes up but the lists you have to scroll through send me bogeyed! Any ideas?

Hm. Tricky. At a rough guess I'd say they mean ^+:>*~#<. Could be wrong of course.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Toni xxx
If your phone doesn't have smilies in it it might be when someone has texted you a smilie???
Love
Toni xxx0 -
By Jove I think you've got it Sticky!
Hey Toni, These are the smilies already on my phone for when I want to insert a symbol like £ or & etc.
He is a cutie but what does he mean? ..........I might be swearing at someone if I used it! :shock:
Luv,Love, Legs x

My phone only has two smilies and ..........
but I wouldn't know what the others meant either
Take it to the local jnr school I am sure the kids will know
love juliepf x0 -
They look like washing instructions to me!
4th from bottom is banging his head probably in frustration.
1 and 6 look like they are talking....
Can't say I have seen many of these. At least you are not like dear Barbara who thought lol meant lots of love and put it at the end of a text to her friend who had lost her pet!
Another one that gets me is how many x ( kisses) you are suppose to give. I think there is a code for that too....

Hi Julie and Clare The Junior School is a good idea but I've not had a police check and it's like getting into a prison!!!! :roll: I'm sure you're not swearing at me Clare I'll ask my niece when I see her she might know.
Thanks for the suggestions Elizabeth .....sometimes it depends which way round you're looking at them, I'm sure! :roll:
I bet poor Barbara was mortified when she found out the real meaning! :oops:
I don't care about how many kisses ...........there can never be too many IMO!!!!
Luv and kisses XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXLove, Legs x

Well a big thankyou to Elizabeth for dragging this one up.... :oops: :? I am ashamed to say it is TRUELove
Barbara0 -
Sorry Barbara but it still makes me laugh out loud!
Linda it also depends on whether you use Capitals or not as well as how many. You just never know what you'll get in return.

Cris you do make me laugh. I'd like to know too when you feel able as it is quite a long list.
Nobody could shed light on the kissing though! I usually stick to 1 or 2 small x- don't want to get carried away.

Oh no!
I always do loads of kisses , hope I never offended anyone. :oops:
Fortunately I work in a school so police checks are done (tick).
Unfortunately it is one of those holidays we get so many of so I wont be in there.
Also we cannot use phones near any children.
All that teamed with the government looking at my texts and emails!
I'm sure to be in trouble

Kisses code below for those interested according to the Internet! (This is replicated from a thread I did from 2010.)
-
No kisses and you're a miserable ****
One small kiss is between friends
One large kiss is seeing if a man/girl will get one back
Two small kisses means he/she is getting closer
Two large kisses means tonsil hockey
Three he/she has frisky frolicking on his/her mind
xxxxxxxxxx means I am desperate, like me please
X X X X X X X X X ...................what does this mean then?
Luv and kisses,Love, Legs x
'Make a life out of what you have, not what you're missing'0 -
Never knew any of that!
Although I always thought if I didn't get any..yes they were a miserable so*.

I started with no kisses for people I didn't really know, 2 for people I knew quite well and 3 for family and close friends. Then people I didn't know well were sending 2 and people I knew well were sending 3 so I had to start sending an extra one to them and 4 to family. Now family are getting 5, everyone else 4 or 3. Where will it all end?Christine0
