XML tags for smilies

Too often smilies appear in posts when you do not want to appear, for example:

20. Qh7+ Kf8 21. Bb4+ Nd6 (21. ..Ne7 22. Qh8🙄 22. Bxd6+

I suggest smilies go into XML tags like this:

< smilie >: )< /smilie >

In this case without the spaces, of course. 🙂

Or you can edit that sentence and put a space in your unwanted smiley. 😉 ; ) 😉

Another one is " ) [without the space] coming out as "😉.

It replaces only the ) for some reason and anyway " ) isn't the code of any of the smilies.

Sometimes things happen, smileys pops up or worse.

Why not have a tag like [exactly] :-) (-: [/exactly]

Even [ b ] or other typo instructions can be as is.
