METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SERCHING EMOTICON

摘要

A method for searching an emoticon in a user terminal includes displaying an emoticon selection region including the thumbnail image of at least one emoticon, outputting a first emoticon corresponding to the thumbnail image with a preview type in a chatting window, when a selection for one of the thumbnail images is received, and outputting a second emoticon different from the first emoticon outputted with the preview type corresponding to the interaction, when receiving the interaction of a user for the outputted first emoticon. At this time, the second emoticon includes emotion information identical or similar to the emotion information of the first emoticon.
