How may I learn the meanings of:- P)   -)    -;)    -:)    D)  ETC.  ?

Try these.

Note that in these cases, the insertion of "-" doesn't change the meaning, merely adds a nose!

:) = Happy face for humor, laughter, friendliness, sarcasm
:D = Super happy/toothy smile, broad smile, etc.
:( = Sad face for sadness, anger, upset
;) = Wink
:/ = Wry face
:P = Tongue out for just kidding
((hug)) = A hug
{{hug}} = Alternative hug
{{{{hug}}}} = Really big hug
<g> = Grin
ALL CAPS = Yelling

Thats great -Thanks !! :D      ( including toothless grins !)

I remember, the first time I saw a smiley (looong time ago), I had not understood that you had to turn your head to understand them ^_^
