Input :) as text on slack

I want to input :) as text in slack.

slack changes it to :slightly_smiling_face: automatically.

I tried using code block, (I can't show code block itself, so I use `` `)

`` `
:)
`` `

But I see only :. ) was dropped.

You can follow this approach but you have to edit the message once.

Steps

  1. First type in ::):
  2. Then edit the message and remove extra colons : and you will only get :) in the message.

Other alternative can be just use : ) instead of :) as suggested in another answer.

Another way: Place your text in single tick (`)

`:)`
