An emoticon of foreign countries
I was surprised.
Because some emoticon of Japan are kaomoji They understand it from the front.
Hello (。・∀・)ノ゛ （σ・Д・）σＹＯ！ (´･ω･`)ﾉ
Happy Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ ♪(o=゜▽゜)人(゜▽゜=o)♪ ...etc
But Foreign countries use a different way.
They read from the side.
happy :)
I am puzzled by cultural differences.

And this is why I fell in love with kaomoji. There's so many expressions, that it's actually difficult to choose what feeling you want to express! （≧∇≦）

I see more and more people use it the same way your wrote the emoticons. If they are on Facebook though, they just use stickers.

I don't know if it's only me but on the english keyboard we can't make some of the signs/characters you use for your emoticons :( we don't have a lot of choices for symbols so i guess we went for the simplier stuff haha. of course we can always download other keyboards but switching between them all the time isn't very pratical :P

I agree with this completely because I grew up seeing side emoticons like :) ;) :$ , so when I see how Japanese write some emoticons I cannot recognize immediately what is it about. :$
