What does this smiley mean? ({})?

It followed a kiss:* smiley. So it might be related. Message was received from a blackberry to an iphone. It could also be a blackberry specific emoticon. Any ideas?

Smiley

Its a big hug from a blackberry emoticon, comes up like that on iphone. But it certainly doesn't look lile a big hug lol

Don't mind but I think this is monkey face smily.

It's a hug emoticon shortcut used by Blackberry devices. ChatSlang.com has more information about this emoticon here:
