New hidden BBM emoticons discovered!

A neat little piece of the puzzle has been discovered today. For a while now, BlackBerry users all around have been in search for new symbols to use in BlackBerry Messenger. Sure, while finding what already existing symbols would actually display on your BlackBerry and saving them to AutoText was cool and exciting for a while, but a world of extended emoticons specifically for BBM has been unveiled today. Thanks to the people from the forums over at CrackBerry and Adam Zeis for the tip on this one. Now I have something fun to fill my weekend with. If I find time, I may try to create an AutoText backup of some of these symbols.

Some people have been having problems getting the symbols to display. I have got them to work on my Bold 9700 just fine. I saved them to a memo where they only display in their original form. They’re BlackBerry Messenger specific, so anywhere else they’re going to display as question marks, black boxes, or Asian characters. When you copy and paste the symbols into BBM, they will finally display.

Here is a link to the thread in CrackBerry’s forum where this originated, and here is the original post by Adam Zeis. Enjoy!
