Public bug reported: 1) Open System Settings 2) Navigate to Keyboard->Shortcuts->Typing 3) Change the value to "Right Win" (or any other shortcut in the list) 4) Type somewhere (e.g. gedit, terminal) "Right Win", ":", ")"
What happens: you see the two characters ":)" Expected: you see the smiling-face character "☺" I upgraded from Ubuntu 13.04 where this setting was somewhere else and worked.
