They're image files. Usually you copy them to a specific directory for the forum. What that directory is differs depending on what software for forums your using. The next step is usually defining what symbol calls what smiley image. thats usually done in the forums control panel.

Depends what type of forums it is. If you can tell us, we can probably help from there.
