There are many reasons why cool symbols are used during conversations. The most popular reason is that people can express themselves. This is huge for ones that are shy and might not always know what to say. What if you are just feeling tired and not sure how to say something because of that? I know that I’ve been there myself plenty of times and grateful for the chat symbols.
Do you know that there are some people who don’t use chat symbols for messenger? You can use them for lots of other reasons. There are some that use it on their Facebook page, MySpace page, or Twitter. They do it when they are sending notes to friends, or when they are updating their page. With Twitter you are limited with how much you can say per note so these cool symbols can really help when you are trying to express how happy or angry you are about something.

Cool symbols
Below are five of the top cool symbols and emoticons that are used. Just copy and paste them in your messenger, profiles or pages and you are good to go. Your friends are going to be surprised that you might know more then them when they see you use symbols that they don’t know about. It’s up to you if you feel like sharing your secret!

Bandaid
When I saw someone use this on their messenger I knew right away that they had been hurt. Sure enough when I sent them a message they said that they had fallen down and hurt themselves. They needed a bandaid and could not find one but could find one on the computer. Thankfully, they are now doing fine but it was the first time I had ever seen the bandaid symbol used on the computer. You can also use it to let your friends know that you have a broken heart and need a bandaid on it.

Angelic
There are times when we just feel angelic. Did you just help someone out or maybe you scored the highest in the class. Whatever your reasons are for feeling angelic you can make your friends envy you with this emoticon.

Bored
Are your friends causing you to be bored with a conversation that they are going on and on about? When the conversation gets so boring that you are almost falling asleep then perhaps you should tell them with this symbol.

Pepsi or a can of Coke?
Do you like Pepsi, or do you like Coke? Just thinking about it makes me want one but I can’t decide! Take a vote with your friends and see what drink wins!

Angry
Did one of your friends just say something that made you really angry? What if you just got into a fight with your parents or best friend? You can let your friends know just how angry you are so that way they might be careful when talking with you.
