I don’t know how other people make those cute Japanese (or Korean? …whatever) emoticons. This may sound shocking, but personally I just copy them from another site.<\/p>\n

This site<\/a> should be a good start to get you on your way to making the most basic emoticons.<\/p>\n (^0^)<\/p>\n If you’re excited now, let me tell you about \u9854\u6587\u5b57\u30ca\u30d3<\/a>, a site with a HUGE collection of emoticons. The only problem is that it’s all in Japanese and finding the smiley you want might be a bit difficult.<\/p>\n \uff08\uff40\u30d8\u00b4\uff09<\/p>\n Now now, don’t get upset. This could be a good opportunity for some simple vocab practice. Unfortunately, I can’t link directly due to the stupid frames so I’ll have to walk you through it.<\/p>\n Let’s start with the standard happy smileys. Go to \u300c\u3088\u300d and select \u300c\u559c\u3076\u300d. You’ll get all types of happiness such as \u300c\u308f\u30fc\u3044\u300d (Yay) or \u300c\u30ad\u30e3\u30fc\u300d (Omg!).<\/p>\n (^-^) \u30ef\uff5e\u30a4<\/p>\n \uff2f(\u2267\u2207\u2266)\uff2f\u30ad\u30e3\u30fc\uff01<\/p>\n You can even get smug smileys under \u300c\u81ea\u6162\u300d -> \u300c\u3048\u3063\u3078\u3093\u300d. Aren’t you so cool?<\/p>\n <(\uff40\u30fc\u00b4)>\u30a8\u30c3\u30d8\u30f3\uff01<\/p>\n Another common one is for sadness or crying, so let’s look at \u300c\u306a\u300d for \u300c\u6ce3\u304f\u300d. You can get the standard crying emoticons as well as some more specific ones like \u300c\u30af\u30b9\u30f3\u300d (sniff) whether you’re crying from just a little bit of sadness or at the end of a good cry.<\/p>\n (\/ _ ; )\u30af\u30b9\u30f3<\/p>\n Another common scenario is saying you’re sorry. You can find those smileys under \u300c\u3053\u300d for \u300c\u3054\u3081\u3093\u300d or \u300c\u3042\u300d for \u300c\u8b1d\u308b\u300d. Instead of going for the standard bowing apology, try putting your hands together for a less serious apology.<\/p>\n (^\u4eba^;) \u30b4\u30e1\u30f3<\/p>\n There’s obviously a lot more emoticons to play with so go to the site and look around to up your online expressiveness AND increase your vocabulary.<\/p>\n \u3002\u3002\u3002\u3002\u3002\u3002\u3002\u3002(\u30ce\u309c\u25c7\u309c)\u30ce<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I don’t know how other people make those cute Japanese (or Korean? …whatever) emoticons.
