Unlike Yahoo messenger and other IM platforms that gives a list of supported smileys, facebook doesn’t, they just assume you should know them. Below is a list of facebook emoticons supported at the moment and the codes to make them appear.

You should, however, note that these smileys can’t be used on facebook mobile messaging. You can type them while sending a message on facebook mobile though and your recipient will see the emoticon if he/she is using facebook desktop version.
Also, this list only works on facebook chat and messaging, they won’t work on wall posts, status updates and comments.
