Japanese-style emoticons (also known as anime emoticons, verticons, or kaomoji) differ from conventional emoticons because they are viewed vertically. These emoticons borrow heavily from the anime drawing style, with a lot of expression shown using the eyes. These emoticons are often abbreviated by leaving off the parentheses, so (^_^) will become ^_^. They can be further abbreviated by leaving out the mouth, so ^_^ becomes ^^. The longer the mouth, the stronger the emoticon’s meaning.
This list contains examples of these emoticons that can be created using plain ASCII characters (so they’re not really kaomoji, but still).
Thanks to everyone that has contributed to the list.

Fuck you all! Use emoticons are better that you all asshole!!
Use your words, KKL.
This page is so super fun right up to KKL’s reply. Is there any way to delete it? It just makes me sad that someone is so angry over single line ascii art.
Everyone has such creative submissions! Thank you all!
