In text message, what does :-* mean ?

When sending an SMS text message, or Instant Message, people often use what are called emoticons, icons made up of letters, numbers, and symbols that attempt to convey an emotion. In the case of :-* it's an emoticon that represents a kiss. If you tilt your head to the left you should be able to see that the colon represents the eyes, the dash is the nose, and the asterisk represents the puckered lips. Some people skip the nose and just send :* for a kiss.
