Western style
Traditionally, the emoticon in Western style is written from left to right, the way one reads and
writes in most Western cultures. Thus, most commonly, one will see the eyes on the left,
followed by the nose and mouth. To more easily recognise them, the reader should tilt their head
toward their left shoulder (or occasionally toward their right shoulder if the "top" of the emoticon
is toward the right).

East Asian style
Users from East Asia popularized a style of emoticons that can be understood without turning
one's head to the left.
These emoticons are usually found in a format similar to (*_*), where the asterisks indicate the
eyes , the central character, usually an underscore , the mouth, and the parentheses, the outline of
the face. A large number of different characters can be used to replace the eyes, which usually is
where the emoticon derives its emotive aspect (contrasting the Western emoticons' emoting
through the mouth). The emphasis on the eyes is reflected in the common usage of emoticons
that use only the eyes, eg ^^. Characters like hyphens or periods can replace the underscore; the
period is often used for a smaller, "cuter" mouth or to represent a nose, eg (^.^). Alternatively,
the mouth/nose can be left out entirely, eg (^^). The parentheses also can often be replaced with
braces , eg {^_^}. Many times, the parentheses are left out completely, eg ^^ or oO. A quotation
mark ", apostrophe ', or semicolon ; can be added to the emoticon to imply apprehension or
embarrassment, in the same way as the anime sweat drop . Many other characters can be
appended to also indicate arms or hands, eg <(^_^)> or ⊂( ゚ヮ゚)⊃.

Western use of East Asian style
English-language anime forums adopted those emoticons that could be used with the standard
ASCII characters available on western keyboards. Because of this, they are often called "anime
style" emoticons in the English-speaking Internet. They have since seen use in more mainstream
venues, including online gaming, instant-messaging, and other non-anime related forums.
Emoticons such as <(^_^)>, which include the parentheses, mouth or nose, and arms (especially
those represented by the inequality signs < or >) also are often referred to as "Kirbies" in
reference to their likeness to Nintendo 's video game character, Kirby . The parentheses are
usually dropped when used in the English language context, and the underscore of the mouth
may be extended as an intensifier, eg ^____^ for very happy.
Around 2007, a new wave of emoticons have appeared such as ( xD}<, :o|<, :D|<, ect.) which
use "}" or "|" for arms and "<", ">" or "v" as legs. Currently they are not as popular as most
emoticons but due to high use on certain MMORPGs their use may spread in the future.
2channel style
The Japanese language is usually encoded using double- byte character codes. As a result there is
a bigger variety of characters that can be used in emoticons, many of which cannot be
reproduced in ASCII . Most kaomoji contain Cyrillic and other foreign letters to create even
more complicated expressions analogous to ASCII art 's level of complexity. To type such
emoticons, the input editor that is used to type Japanese on a user's system is equipped with a
dictionary of emoticons, after which the user simply types the Japanese word (or something close
to it) that represents the desired emoticon to convert the input into such complicated emoticons.
Such expressions are known as Shift JIS art .
Users of 2channel in particular have developed a wide variety of unique emoticons using obscure
characters. Some have taken on a life of their own and become characters in their own right, like
Mona .

Graphic emoticons
Graphic emoticons (small images that often automatically replace typed text) are commonly used
instead of the older text variants, especially on Internet forums and instant messenger programs.
These are often heavily animated, some taking up to at least a full five seconds to fully loop, and
sometimes (mostly on instant messengers ) with sound embedded, to bring it to full life.
The common tradeoff that results in relatively small graphic emoticons on forums is the height of
the emoticon relative to the height of the text. Anything larger than the default size of the forum
typeface (1 em ) increases the line spacing which decreases the comprehension of the post thus
defeating the purpose of emoticon which is increasing the message value.
Usage of multiple emoticons in succession and "high" emoticons (relative to line height) is
frowned upon among forum users who prefer higher signal to noise ratio .
Examples

confident
confused

hysterical
indifferent
mocking

odd, crazy, etc.
sad
shocked
skeptical
smile
smirking
upset
very sorry
