What do these kind of faces actually mean in Japan? From what I've seen, these dates back years ago. Do the Japanese merely use them as emotioncons? Or are they like the memes we have here?

[Anonymous No.]

Both.

[Anonymous No.]

What is that face called anyways?

[Anonymous No.]

>kaomoji-memes

[Anonymous No.]

They're kaomoji. Some are characters on 2ch with a recurring gimmick.

Normally I would be able to decipher what these faces mean.
I can't.
I don't understand what that face is supposed to mean. I'm probably the least autistic person here, too.

Isn´t that le lenny face

[Anonymous No.]

I can't figure out how to type them, so I don't use them. Apparently it's easy on a japanese keyboard.

[Anonymous No.]

Those inverted eyebrows usually mean someone being friendly and passive. Like a "Let's all take it easy, okay?" kind of face.

>>11260092
I wish.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11260104
It's not that it's easy. In IME, you can assign these things to keywords, nothing short of a dropdown list of macros.

You can get emoji packs for various IMEs.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11260104
You just need japanese input and it's cake to do on an english keyboard as well.

Because in typing japanese you don't have a button for every single character, so it is handled with 'conversion' which (if the initial guess is wrong) you can pop up a small menu quickly to select the right characters.

Because of that it's also convenient to just add emotes into the menu, so you just type かおもじ and start the conversion to see a list.

That's probably the "かわいそう"-face, meaning "poor thing". At least i remember it being used in that context in the VIPs (Super Mario World collaboration project from 2ch).

you can make it by typing オメガ

It's the angular velocity symbol, but I forget what it's called. It's not Japanese, at any rate.

Can you guys guess the meme? Probably not. So go fuck yourself.

All the characters in the VIP hacks were based on 2channel AA characters.

They did a pretty good job of representing them for such a silly and simple game.

Or you could type out　ぎりしゃ
