Line: Japanese emoticons

   David Mediavilla <med...@inf.alum.deusto.es> emailed me some goodies 
and said: "I've received this short list of Japanese emoticons. Perhaps 
you find them interesting.  Feel free to post it to the Ascii art groups 
if you find it worths it."



International icons:

:-)  :smile
:-O  :stunned or shocked

Typical Japanese icons for these are:

(^-^)     :smile
<^O^>     :laughing loudly
(@_@)     :stunned
(o_o)     :shocked
m(_ _)m   :deep bow used for apologizing or expressing thanks.

or just ^_^, if you add the parenthesis, it can be thought of as
an "ear-to-ear" grin.  You can also add semicolons to the side
as beads of sweat (in embarassment), (^_^;; maichatta...
