New description:

 If a definition of custom smiley in the "theme" file contains a backlash,
 the smiley is misinterpreted or not interpreted at all (the assigned
 graphics does not show, just text). Try to assign these smileys to some
 PNGs and test them in a conversation window:
 {{{
  :-\ (unimpressed)
  \~/ (a kiss)
  <\3 (a broken heart)
  <3  (a heart)
 }}}
 Interestingly, when you type <3, you'll get the graphics for <\3.
