In Russian, an emoticon is separated from the word by a space. If there is a punctuation mark after an emoticon, it is not separated by a space. The full point after an emoticon is usually not written. An emoticon can be combined with the usual closing bracket (provided that it has opened somewhere).
Occasionally, the mouth can be repeated as an intensifier, as in :)))); this is similar to the Russian use of ))).
