Printing special Characters on LCD Display from Serial Monitor

Other Hardware Displays
1

Hey Guys, I'm gettin started and just can't find a way to print a special character (smiley, etc..) on my LCD Display (16 x 2) directly from serial monitor.
Is there a way to send de hex that defines the character or any other way to do it?
Thanks

A good place to start is the HD44780U LCD controller datasheet:-
