The text smiley normally consists of eyes and mouth. Here are some  guidelines for creating your own sideways text smileys/emoticons.  
- A colon : represents the eyes in smiley
- A closing bracket ) represents the mouth in smiley
- Now, Just put them together to make a basic smiley :)
- All smileys are read left to right, e.g. :) is a smiley face as the mouth curls upwards direction
- A common variation is to replace the colon : eyes for = making =)
Many different variations can be used to create these smileys. Here are some of the examples:
