First time I saw a friend using this cute emoticon on the MSN (Windows Live Messenger), I laughed (no, not like the emoticon on the left here, it’s a different laugh) I asked him whether he had more.
He gave me a few of the same emoticon “theme”. I didn’t know it was called the “Onion Head emoticons” until recently. I then did a search in Google and found the site that creates these emoticons!
There are lots and lots of Onion Head emoticons on the site, such as:
Has it put a smile or a grin on your face yet 
?
Check out the onion head emoticon club at Onion Club and download these cute emoticons yourselves!
The site is in Chinese though, so you have a few options:
- Browse the site and download the emoticons by “guessing” (it’s not that hard as I’ve pointed the direct page to you)
- or download the zip file that I’ve made just for you with these emoticons here (they are probably outdated though as the Onion Club releases new emoticons every now and then)
Oh, do I forget to mention that they have created some Onion Head display pictures as well? Here are some examples:
The link to the display pictures page is here (sorry I haven’t got a zipped file for you this time). Download them and go impress your MSN / WLM Friends

lol a BIG thanks for putting em they are very funny XD
lol, that’s funny..
The site is in japanese. I’m 99% sure. (cause I’m Japanese… but I forgot the whole language) anyway, although you didn’t mean it, that felt kinda offending so, next time. Do your homework
Hi Ringo, my sincere apology. I’ve made the change on the post.
As you said, I didn’t mean to offend and I’m not too sure why a simple mistake like that can be offending.
Thanks for pointing it out.
Actually Ringo, the site is in Chinese, Onion head is originally named “Chong yang tou” which is Onion head in Chinese… now I forgot where its from, either Taiwan or Mainland, but the site is in Chinese as I am Chinese, I can read, write it and understand it.
It is very rare, veeery rare for Japanese site or anything Japanese in general to write using 100% traditional characters that are the same as Chinese characters.
thats in Cantonese actually to be more precise…and its “Yeung Chung/Chong Tau”
It is Cantonese because it contains no simplified characters. Either way Chinese or Cantonese is definitely correct as opposed to Japanese…I feel way more offended that some Japanese wannabe came in and posed all over =p
lol and I’m the one that’s scratching my head here.
I did remember that I was using the Google Chinese Translation to English when I tried to browse the site some months ago.
Thanks for clearing this up, guys
Nah.. thank you bro
thanks…onion emo so cute….
wat la nothing to see wan
hi, thanks for the cute onion-head emoticons!
but can you tell me how to use them?
hi Karina, you need to add the icon one by one to your MSN/WLM
Feel free to contact me if you want a step by step kind of thing. Should be quite straight forward!
I LOOOOOVE The Onion! Just wanna say thanks for the link.
Anyhoo, the site is in Taiwanese. Sorry to complicate matters further over this whole language brouhaha, but the Onion Head is from Taiwan. Taiwanese use traditional Chinese characters as well, not just Hong Kong.

The download links are on the post. Read it again
Thanks so much for the zipped file, it’s much more practical than saving the emoticons one by one =)
Hi,
someone could tell me please how to install these as msn emoticons?
thanks! ^-^
You have to do it manually, I’m afraid if you haven’t added them before. Simply go to where you can choose the msn emoticons, there’s an add button there. Point it to the emoticon file you want to add
