Asian smiley, what do you think?

[agkm800]

Asians, particularly Koreans, use ^^ a lot instead of the traditional 🙂 or 🙂 or =)

When you see ^^, do you naturally recognize it as a smiley?

Do you already use it? I've seen my European friends using it on MSN.

Ah, so that's what that "cat ears" thing means. Ta.






(Put me down as a not until now)

 

[chrmjenkins]

Yes, but because of my exposure to asian animation of different sorts.

Why would eyebrows be considered a smiley?

He's missing the lips from the smiley. It's suppose to look like ^_^

Well that makes sense then.

 

[TheSVD]

No it doesn't. Have you ever seen any of that anime crap?

 

[redwarrior]

Not to make anyone's brain explode, but there's tons of 'em. ^_~

I wish I had four hands so I could give this post four thumbs up.

I didn’t say I’d ever use it. 🙂 However, at least it actually has a mouth. And no, I’ve never seen much anime stuff.

except for the occasional Hentai movie.

^_^ has evolved to just ^^ these days. 😉

😛😛 The sun will rise in the west before I ever use ^^. Strictly old school ^_^ for me.

I see the double things like that and think it's a reply to the post above it.

Guess I was wrong.

I just check out what you've been posting today. You're trying to see how long it takes you to get banned, right? That's hilarious.🙄

Sometimes it is and sometimes it's a smiley.

 

[RawBert]

That is correct, sir. I started as tlauer1 and now I'm at tlauer3.

Well, that didn't take long.

 

[fireshot91]

In forums like this, I get it to mean the post above.

In Asian/Anime forums (I don't ever visit em, but some of my friends do, and if they link me something) I reference it to mean a smiley face.


My friends on IM/Text use it, and it doesn't bother me one bit. Though, I still don't see myself ever using it.

I use normal smileys like 🙂 😉 😛 😀 🙁

Oh, another one that one of my friends uses a lot is ;_; meaning crying. I get it, but I still don't see myself ever using it.

 

[KeriJane]
