Today I’m showing a list of my favorite 顔文字 (kaomoji) – or japanese smileys.
In America we use really boring ones like : ) ; ) but the Japanese have really elaborate ones. And when you enter certain words, certain smileys will come up. Most Japanese cellphones have user customizable dictionaries, so if you want certain words to convert to certain smileys, you can program it that way. As an iPhone user, I don’t have a customizable dictionary. So the best I’ve been able to do is make lists in the Notes section and copy and paste them when I want to use them. It’s a real pain in the ass, actually. But I have 5 pages of my favorites, which I will just re-post here. (I’m heading out the door to eat yakiniku in a few minutes, so I needed something quick for today’s blog entry.)
(this page assumes your computer supports japanese characters)
顔文字 Kamoji is combined of two words
顔 かお kao “face”
文字 もじ moji “letters, writing”
some of them are self-apparent, but i’ll include a few explanations…
this is samurai doing a formal bow on the floor 土下座, you can see his top knot between his two eyes （丁髷）.

dibbs, i’m gonna go with satoshi on this, i think that kaomoji is a guy with two fists clenched like the japanese do when they say 頑張るぞ！ or 頑張れ！
but funny, now that you said it… it does sort of look like a guy covering his ears saying “i can’t hear you!!!” pretty funny!
さとしさん、ありがとうございます！
おもしろいですね！でもなんか聞きたいことがあるんですけど。
どんな話でそのｻﾀﾞｺ顔文字が役に立つのかな？笑笑笑

Reblogged this on angelswiftie and commented:

If some one wishes expert view on the topic of blogging and site-building after that i recommend him/her to pay a visit this website, Keep up
the pleasant work.
The Sony Play – Station 3 is the third in the Play – Station series and is expecting great success upon its release on November 2006 in Japan, United States, and in Canada.
The free play games will be available to all Xbox Live Gold subscribers and
most of these games will be multiplayer by nature. The one thing
that almost all enthusiasts agree on, and that has a firm scientific basis, is that
the interaction between the sound waves produced
by a loudspeaker, and the room the speaker is located in, can be crucial.
This is great, thanks.
Do you know what this one means?
(´･Д･)」
Like many kaomoji, the meaning can be ambiguous without context. I’d say this has 3 possible readings that immediately spring to mind. One, confusion. Two, worry. Three, headache or bodily pain.
Thank you 👍🏻
