Disclosed is a method for identifying and suggesting emoticons. The method comprises receiving a set of segments (514) from a text field (504); analyzing the set of segments (514) to determine at least one of a target subtext or a target meaning associated with the set of segments (514), and identifying a set of candidate emoticons (506). Each candidate emoticon (506) in the set of candidate emoticons has an association between the candidate emoticon and at least one of the target subtext or the target meaning. The method may further comprise presenting the set of candidate emoticons (506) for entry selection at a current position of an input cursor (516), receiving an entry selection for a set of selected emoticons from the set of candidate emoticons (506), and inserting the set of selected emoticons into the text field (504) at the current position of the input cursor (516). Also, the statistical usage of at least one of the provided emoticons is updated based on the user’s selection. |
