I couldn't find a TextMate bundle that would give me tab triggers for all of my favorite emoticons -- so I made one.
Here's some examples of some of the emoticons:
?angry - ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ
?bearflip - ʕノ•ᴥ•ʔノ ︵ ┻━┻
?cheers - （ ^_^）o自自o（^_^ ）
?comeon - (屮ﾟДﾟ)屮
?drooling - ( °٢° )
?eyeroll - (¬_¬)
?flip - (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
?flip2 - ┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ︵ ┻━┻
?happy - ( ﾟヮﾟ)
?heyyy - (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
?hi5 - (=´∀｀)人(´∀｀=)
?innocent - ʘ‿ʘ
?kick - ＼| ￣ヘ￣|／＿＿＿＿＿＿＿θ☆( *o*)/
?shrugs - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
?unflip - ┬──┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ)
?unflip2 - ┳━┳ ◡ ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ ◡ ┳━┳
Enjoy. (=´∀｀)人(´∀｀=)
