Parent article: Microsoft Patents Emoticon (Groklaw)

The process described by the parent already works in MSN Messenger 7. You can import any small picture and assign any string to it for use as an emoticon. When used, the custom emoticon will be transmitted automatically to the chat partner.

It can get quite annoying when your chat partner decides to assign an animated gif of a question mark to the ? character.
