Difference about "KAOMOJI" in Japanese (*^_^*) and English :-). Would you usually use face mark in your E-mail? I wonder why Japanese mark is different to English. In Japanese we usually read it lengthways like (^^) ←It shows smile, but In English it is read sideways. In first time I saw it (maybe it was twitter), I didn't notice it shows smily. I think English face mark is difficult to notice, because we have to let it turn 90°. Today I knew XO is also face mark. It means big smile, maybe in Japanese smily it's same meaning as （●＾o＾●）. Would you understand what it means? *<|:-) I hear It's a Santa Clause!! 【日本語と英語の顔文字の違い】普段E-mail を打つ際に顔文字を使いますか？私は日本語と英語の顔文字がなぜ違うのか不思議に思います。日本語では普通縦に読みます。(^^)←これは笑顔を示しています。ですが、英語では横に読みますよね。初めてそれを見たとき（たぶんツイッターです）、私はそれが顔文字とは気づきませんでした。英語の顔文字は90度回転させなくてはいけないので、気づきにくいと思うのです。今日、私はXOも顔文字だと知りました。これは大笑いのことで、日本語の顔文字でいうと（●＾o＾●）こんな感じです。これが何を意味しているかわかりますか？ *<|:-) サンタクロースだそうです！ Thank you for reading my notebook!

I wonder why Japanese mark is different to English.

japanese markS or signs or symbols are different FROM...

In Japanese we usually read it lengthways like (^^) ←It shows smile, it is a sighn for smile.
but In English it is read sideways.

In the first time I saw it (maybe it was on twitter), I didn't notice it shows smily.

I didn't recognize that it is a sign for smile.

I think English face marks is (are) difficult to notice (understand), because we have to let it turn 90°. we have to rotate them 90 degrees clockwise.
Today I knew that XO is also a face mark.
It means big smile, maybe in Japanese smily it's same meaning as （●＾o＾●）.

In Japanese （●＾o＾●）has the same meaning.

Would you understand what it means?

Can you understand what this sign means

*I hear It's a Santa Clause!! i have heard that...

【日本語と英語の顔文字の違い】
普段E-mail を打つ際に顔文字を使いますか？
私は日本語と英語の顔文字がなぜ違うのか不思議に思います。

日本語では普通縦に読みます。(^^)←これは笑顔を示しています。
ですが、英語では横に読みますよね。
初めてそれを見たとき（たぶんツイッターです）、
私はそれが顔文字とは気づきませんでした。
英語の顔文字は90度回転させなくてはいけないので、
気づきにくいと思うのです。
今日、私はXOも顔文字だと知りました。
これは大笑いのことで、日本語の顔文字でいうと（●＾o＾●）こんな感じです。

これが何を意味しているかわかりますか？
*サンタクロースだそうです！

Thank you for reading my notebook!

I always use smiley in emails and messages and everything! I use both English and Japanese, but since I am learning Japanese, I always use this one-> ^_^. This is my most favorite. Also, I think when you get a little bit used to it, it seems easier to recognize (English smiley). これがほんとうにおもしろいノートですよ　＾＿＾
