I feel embarrassed to ask. Was thinking that :) would be turned into a smiley face but that doesn't work. I did some searching but most of the hits talks about a Windows computer. I'm running a linux desktop. Was looking for some sort of links on what the post editor supports but didn't find any such links. Our gifs/qposts sidebar link doesn't mention emoji's.

I'm not looking to add them to my username. I'm referring adding them to a post/comment.
Good one. And yes, us linux users are superior, we just don't like to brag. 🙂
Hey, maybe Linux is new to them and they're just figuring this stuff out! Let's help them, not condescend to them.
Things like this make it easy. Copy and paste.

This might be the best and most viable way to answer the OP's question!
Find somewhere to cut and paste from.
eg. https://emojipedia.org/smiling-face-with-smiling-eyes/ is this one 😊
The advantage of this method is it works just about anywhere.
Here's your full list!
Unicode is your friend!

Thanks. And how do I enter a unicode character or set of characters into a post or comment?
Hmm... actually, disregard this! I don't think .win supports unicode or HTML-based symbols when entering them manually. Numpad entries work of course, but it seems the only way to properly implement emojis here is to find a site where you can copy + paste them (as solarsavior linked above), or use .win on mobile where they are readily available via your phone's keyboard.
