Ok, there's smile, grin, and wink. And now there's flowers, brew and wine. Faaaairly positive.... but the rest are drear
Couldn't we have some ways of expressing support, encouragement, understanding etc - just ways of being nice, like you would be to a friend.
Eg sympathy, [perhaps a hand to hold emoticon], a proud/you're doing/done really well [a rosette emoticon?], congratulations [balloon?], understanding [nodding head?!].... you get the gist.
