    > You turned it sideways. Using a colon, a dash, and a parenthesis character in series, you could make a sideways smile or frown. It looked like this: [happy-face] or [sad-face]

    Did the editor repace :) with [happy-face]?

      Maybe the author uses a CMS that's supposed to replace tags like [happy-face] with an emoji, but something broke?
