I'm new with it, as far as I understand it's a build-in font for Japanese smiles. I want to be able to read and write them (preferably without changing the whole operating system to Japanese)

Examples of them:

ﾍ(´∀｀ﾍ)ﾍ(´∀｀ﾍ)ﾖｲﾖｲ(ﾉ´∀｀)ﾉ(ﾉ´∀｀)ﾉﾖｲﾖｲ♪

for now I can't see a smile here, I see weird characters but I want to see, even I want to write.

The consensus is that “how to set up a computer to use Japanese” is off topic on japanese.stackexchange.com. – Tsuyoshi Ito Nov 24 '11 at 13:08
Sorry @nCdy, but as Tsuyoshi points out, this type of question does not belong on JLU... – Dave♦ Nov 24 '11 at 13:33
To write with IME, you just need to enable dict file in your IME support.microsoft.com/kb/882862/ja and you may search more exhaustive kaomoji dictionaries in google and import there. – YOU Nov 25 '11 at 1:37
For reference, you can always try using this website to lookup/copy/paste kaomoji: kaomojinavi.net – summea Mar 30 '12 at 14:46
