I know of a few simple emoticons that translate to images like

:) turns into a smile;
:putnam: turns into a Facebook engineer named Putnam.

But what is the extent of emoticons available in chat? Is there somewhere where I can find the entire list?

The list is = number of facebook users + ~10 normal emoticons(:), :P etc).

No, not kidding, you can take any user's profile picture and turn it into an emoticon. Take anyone's profile find his profile ID and post it to chat like [[PROFILE_ID]], and his/her profile image will turn into an emoticon. E.g. -

enter image description here

Try it. :)

Update: Finding the user ID is a bit tricky.

For the users who didn't setup a username, their profile page looks like this - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002872529, and you know that's the user ID.

For those who have setup an user ID - go to their profile page, view the source of that page with your browser(For chrome, you press Ctrl + U), search for this exact text - profile_owner and you'll see something like "profile_owner":"100002872529". There you have the ID.

This is the fastest way for me, if anyone has even faster way, please post. :P

  • well how to find users profile id? – Ant's Apr 12 '12 at 8:04
  • Check the answer, updated it. – Bibhas Apr 12 '12 at 12:31
  • Some enterprising fb users have created entities specifically for use in such macros, e.g. [[roxsign]], [[midfing]]. – intuited Apr 30 '13 at 14:05
  • Also it looks like you no longer need to find out the numeric user ID—the name-like alias seems to work now. – intuited Apr 30 '13 at 14:17
  • It seems doesn't work now. I tried it several times but failed. – anhnha Dec 6 '16 at 10:12
