Although the standard smiley face "emoticons" have been around since the dawn of the Internet, there are hundreds more now that many web users recognize. Smiley faces are used in everything from instant messages and emails to text messages. They can emphasize a point you're making in your message or just serve as a visual expression of how you're feeling. The smiley with sunglasses is one of the more commonly used emoticons, and is quite easy to create on your computer.
