Depending on the MSN Messenger version, some of these secret MSN emoticons, smilies, and eggs may no longer be hidden, while others are.

Most of these hidden MSN emoticons were originally unleashed in MSN Messenger 6 and are still present in MSN Messenger 7.x, albeit that not all of them are still hidden and show up in the main MSN emoticon list.

Because MSN Messenger 6/7 allows users to make custom MSN emoticons, not all emoticons that are discovered are actually secret or hidden as many are simply customized emoticons created for MSN Messenger.

Simply begin chatting and type the following text emoticons to reveal these secret and hidden emoticons:

MSN Messenger 6.x

  • Storms: (li)
  • Be right back (brb)
  • Turtle: (tu)
  • Dish: (pl)
  • Xbox: (xx)
  • Cigarette : (ci)
  • Hand cuffs (%)
  • High 5 (h5)
  • Fingers crossed (yn)

Messenger Plus is needed in order for the user to be able to hear the sound effects when instant messaging.
