I know it's a long shot, but is there some package or means to insert emoticons into a LaTeX document?

A:
First answer: Don't do that!
Second answer: I doubt you'll find a font with them, so why not screencapture the ones you want and include them (boxed) inline in your text?

Now they've gotten into 'TeX as well. Will this usenet madness never stop ?

A:
Unicode's "miscellaneous symbols" include 3 simple emoticons: 0x2639-0x263B. You can possibly use 0x2686-0x2689 as well.
For more variation you are going to need to use images and include them somehow.
I am curious as to the circumstances which lead to this question :)

I prepare the assignment handout for my students in LaTeX (exported to PDF). I would love to include a smiley in there for the students :-)

Ah, I guess that is justified - I would like to see smilies in my assignments. Though not if you only put them in hard questions, and following by "this should be easy" :P

Good idea, but to apply this you need to know how to enter Unicode characters. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/219853/entering-unicode-characters-in-latex

A:
I know at least two partial ways:
First:
$\ddot\smile$
Second:
\usepackage{wasysym}
\smiley
\frownie
Or you can use images (as mentioned in other replies).

Your answer works fine for me. Can you correct the "smiley" spelling mistake? Thanks.
