Is the smiley face an HTML-recognized symbol? Does it have a recognized HTML name? I cannot find smiley characters at <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/entities.html>. At <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/named-character-references.html>, there is a ⌣ at Unicode U+02323. (This is a draft specification that is still being revised. The latest revision was just today.) At <http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2300.pdf>, I see that Unicode U+02323 is a curve resembling a parenthesis on its side with the concave side up. This might be considered a smile, but it does not have the face circle around it. Note that the Gecko rendering engine (used by SeaMonkey, Firefox, and related applications) is supposed to be compliant with published formal specifications. There is no error if a character that is not defined in a formal specification is not appropriately displayed. If the character is indeed defined in a formal specification (not a draft specification) but not appropriately displayed, please submit a bug report at bugzilla.mozilla.org. -- David E.
