To tell you the truth, I don't really know what a size 0 is. I assume it is the smallest size available which in that case is a size 6-8 in Australia as some start at a 6 and some at an 8. I wear sizes 6-8. I have people tell me I am too thin also. I find it insulting that they feel they can tell me to put on weight but it would be rude of me to tell them to loose weight. I think you got the reposes that you did to your question because you didn't add enough info. The ones that answered that anyone who wears it is far too thin and looks unhealthy are the ones who are overweight, are unhappy about it and wish to make you feel bad about your weight. They are just jealous. I am going to get so many thumbs down for this answer...

They are called "smiley". There is no standard list of them. What you do is rotate them to the right (clockwise). The first is simple a smile. The second, with its left eye closed, is a wink. You just look at them and make your best guess.
As people are daily inventing new ones, or refining old ones, there is no official list of them. :-( (That one means "sorry" or "sad", if you couldn't guess)

There are zillions of symbols and once you start using them they even make sense.... I found a website that is very helpful and you might as well. The Chat Slang is what you are referring to but this site has lots of computer lingo you might be interested in.

They are emoticons or "EMOTion ICONS", generally used to express different feelings. Using these we don't have to type that much. They are available in the messenger and you if you know the correct symbols just type them and see the magic.
E.G-
:) happy , B-) cool , =D> applause etc.
