   hahaha, they're also not running actively developed systems straight out of CVS   
    ;)

   right... what i meant was they could be converted to the ASCII representations   
   :) or :-) and .) or .-) or whatever fits the emoticon being used...   
      
    > So for  "PERSON FROWNING" on a CP437 display you should see that f0 = ð, 9f   
   = Ÿ, 99 =  ™, and 8d = , which is the infamous "loses an eye" character.   
      
   not familiar with that "loses an eye" one... frown might be }:| or similar   
   where the } is furrowed eyebrows... sometimes it is also used for horns as in   
   anger...   
      
    > Where your  editor got the single upside down question mark seems odd to me,   
      
   actually it is quite common... a character is chosen and used to represent   
   glyphs that cannot be converted... in this case, the upsidedown question mark   
   is used...
