Hi,

when and how to use this symbols   (  ,  '   .  "  :  -)    in writting  articles or messages.......

The smiley-face is just an informal, fun thing you can put anywhere in your message, there are no rules about it. 

The other symbols seem like standard punctuation. Are you asking us, for example, where you should put a period in an English sentence?

Best wishes, Clive

I think nader75 wants to know when or how to use open and close parentheses, commas, apostrophes, periods, quotes, colons and dashes.

Thirty-five years ago (more or less), I was delivered into this world by someone who called himself a "doctor". Mother had to undergo a C-section because I'd grown too big for natural childbirth. But that was decades ago.

If you want to know the different ways of using a colon, then you should view this website: [link]

These symbols are called 'punctuation'.
