Adding Emoticons
There are two ways to add an emoticon, or smiley, to your Confluence page.
By choosing an emoticon from those available:
- Choose Insert > Emoticon when editing, to display the available emoticons.
- Click on an emoticon to insert it.
By typing a character combination:
You can insert emoticons by typing commonly-used character combinations. For example, the following code appears as an emoticon when the page is rendered.

This example creates this emoticon: .
The emoticons (and other icons) available in Confluence, and the character combinations that create them, are shown in this table:

Preventing Emoticons from Appearing
To prevent Confluence from turning parts of text into emoticons, 'escape' the character sequence by inserting a '\' character.
For example, this character sequence contains an emoticon:
(-example_here;)
This example appears as: (-example_here.
To 'escape' the emoticon sequence, insert a slash as in the following example:
(-example_here\;)
The characters will then appear exactly as typed.
