It depends somewhat on the sentence/paragraph it's attached to; but practically always as some form of "just kidding", somewhere in between and 
I think  is just creepy looking, I don't think I've seen anyone use it here..
is a bit goofy looking, so it seems fitting for goofy/'tongue in cheek' remarks.

Hilarious is a stronger version of happy?
I'd have thought funny->hilarious, happy->overjoyed
Either way, it's not a good looking smiley..

Smileys were supposed to improve the quality of communication by giving the tone of the message. It would help to distinguish between a serious flame from a joke, or irony. But if we don't agree on the meaning of individual smileys, there will be other misunderstandings, for instance if irony is mistaken for happiness.
For me:
- "You see what I mean." (maybe refers to some other recent topic)
- Something like "Admit it, I won, you lost.", or "Na na na!"
In fact it is not easy to describe the exact feeling a smiley evokes to you.

I think we can all agree this means a dead person. If not a slightly modified version of this meaning.
