Kaomoji – The Face “Writing”.

[Saga]

 

I just used a Japanese styled emoticon and thought it’d be good to have an article about the rich language in emoticons which Japanese put in.

 

There are a dozen of emoticons,as you all know and use. But what is interesting although it’s kind of funny to make a whole article about Japanese emoticons is that they pay attention to the eyes,in general. So,it’s useful to know it, especially for people that love to use emoticons and they do choose the Japanese ones. The word they use for these cute creations of mind is ‘Kaomoji’( 顔文字 ), with meaning ”Face Writing”.
