For the purposes of voting, the symbol :-) shall be equivalent to "FOR"; the symbol :-( shall be equivalent to "AGAINST". For Judgement, <:-] shall be equivalent to "TRUE", <:-[ shall be equivalent to "FALSE", while <|-? shall be equivalent to "UNDECIDED".
[Comment:] Nothing compels any player to use the symbols above. All it says is that these are legal sybols for the voting reactions. It allows a player with a sense of humour to be creative; at least these symbols are mnemonic. I considered things like %#$@. No, I don't take any funny chemicals while playing newt.
