the ability to insert emoticons in entries

Area:
entries

Summary:
Sometimes it's easier to express things with emoticons and smiles than with words

Description:
sometimes it's easier to express things with emoticons and smiles than with words, so you could make it possible for us to have insert emoticons button in the rich text bar within the others possibilities we have to post an entry such as font colour, font size, images, media, links... I usually insert emoticons using the insert images button, but since there'a lots of it in all sizes sometimes it doesn't look beautiful to see in the blog, with a small font and a big emoticon.

+1, emoticon images make me cringe... I'd like for there to be an option to type ':-)' (or whatever) and have it show up as text, not default to an emoticon.

They don't make me cringe, but I know on some sites I visit with emoticon graphics, there tends to be a problem where text gets converted into an emoticon with no way to opt out (and often no list of what gets turned into a graphic). Like 8) will become an emoticon some places when a user was just trying to make a 1) 2) 3) etc list.
