:) is a smiley face, also known as an emoticon, expressing happiness or excitement.

You can also type it backwards like this (:

They both mean the same. But they can be used to distinguish between a girl(: or a boy:). But they are both used by anyone.
Conversation:

- Hey, how are you?

- Really excited for the game, you?! :)

The horrible emoticon which is probably the only emoticon along with :( that most people in the world know.

Because of this, a whole variety of feelings just gets hidden. It would even look nicer if people didn't even type :) and :(

It would be A LOT nicer if people could just grow up and learn more emoticons.
