Questions and answers
What does (≧▽≦) mean?
Laughing hard: both eyes squeezed shut over a wide open mouth, which is a white triangle pointing down. Swap the mouth for ∀, the for all sign, and it grins; swap the eyes for > and < and most of it can be typed.
What do www and 草 mean in Japanese?
Laughter. Wikipedia's article on LOL says w is used as an abbreviation and is commonly chained together. A row of w looks like grass, which leads to 草, read kusa. Wiktionary lists 草生える, literally grass grows, as a longer form.
Where are the faces laughing until they cry?
On the crying page. This family puts each face on one page only, and a tear sends it to crying kaomoji, however happy the rest looks. XD and the other sideways laughs are with the text faces for the same reason.

How this list was compiled: Built by script on 2026-09-19, not typed into the page by hand. The 62 entries are this site's own selection and arrangement: each was put together for this page from the parts a kaomoji is made of (brackets, eyes squeezed shut, an open mouth, hands, a pointing finger, a written laugh). Some are forms in common use that nobody owns. The labels, groups and order are our own. The written laughs come from Wikipedia's article LOL, section Commonly used equivalents in other languages (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOL, read 2026-09-19): the kanji for laugh in brackets, (笑), is used in Japanese the same way as lol; w is also used as an abbreviation and is commonly chained together; a row of w looks like grass, which leads to 草, read kusa; ㅋㅋㅋ and ㅎㅎㅎ indicate laughter in Korean; 555 is the Thai variation, 5 being pronounced ha; jajaja is Spanish, where j is pronounced /x/; rs is an abbreviation of risos in Brazil, where kkk is also popular; mdr is the French version, from the initials of mort de rire; wkwkwk is used in Indonesian the same way as lol. Japanese words from Wiktionary, each entry read 2026-09-19: bakushō, uproarious laughter, to roar with laughter (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/爆笑); kusukusu, gigglingly, with a chuckle (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/くすくす); geragera, guffawing (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/げらげら); kusa as internet slang for LOL, from the resemblance of repeated w to grass (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/草). Every character of every entry was looked up in UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), and must be an assigned, visible character. Emoji are left out. The eyes of the first entry are Greater-than over equal to (U+2267) and Less-than over equal to (U+2266), in 31 entries; its mouth is White down-pointing triangle (U+25BD). "Borrows" under an entry names each character from outside the blocks of punctuation, common symbols and Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and Japanese letters, with its script from Scripts.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Scripts.txt) or, for a Latin or common character, its block from Blocks.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Blocks.txt). "Is on the emoji list" names each character that has the Emoji property in emoji-data.txt, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-data.txt). "Short" means 6 code points or fewer, spaces counted. Nothing here says how any one device draws a face. Licence: own work
