Japanese Emoticon List
Here’s a pretty cool list of the top 30 or so Japanese Emoticons. Asian emoticons generally seem to come in the following form:
emoticon ::= ear (eye mouth/nose eye) ear
The trick is that you have to visualize a face laid out horizontally instead of vertically, after which the Asian-style emoticon directly resembles a human face:
- (^_^)
- (>_< )>
- (^_^;)
- (ToT)
- m(_ _)m
- (^^;)
- ( ̄ー ̄)
- (≧∇≦)
- ( ̄□ ̄;)
- (#^.^#)
I like the last one best (#^.^#) Some other lists of emoticons can be found below:

i think the comma is supposed to be a “sweat drop” and not a “thumbs up”
