New smilie notation
Tis a work in progress but I wondered what you'd think of the latest incarnation of my raised eyebrow smilie (an expression I use a lot, just ask Syd or Alan 
), anyway, here it is |?

Look at the long line as a mouth, the curved bit as an eyebrow... |? (a raised eyebrow?) am i the only one who sees it or am i just nuts?

I can kinda see it, but to me the rounded bit is *too* rounded for a raised eyebrow. Personally I think it looks more like a Patrick Moore smilie. 
If only it played the xylophone...

I think the problem I had was that I thought smilies tend to go left to right and that's the way I was trying to read it.

Hell, you could even c + p it from Babelfish, if you were really that desperate... but knowing Havoc, he'll probably say it's too much effort!

maybe \-) works a bit better?
But I doubt we'll be taking over the world with a raised eyebrow smiley just yet...
