Is it possible to work with smileys in ConTeXt?


Why not?
But perhaps you could specifiy what you'd like to achieve.

Instead of using something like ;-}, what looks nice, but is not the highpoint of typography, I would like to use something like \smiley, \grin, \cool, …

You need a font with the symbol, there are also fonts available where you can use layers to use different colors for parts of the symbol.

Apples new emoji font is also very interesting but you can’t use it with ConTeXt.
