I am not sure of the exact meaning of this Chinese emoticon:

Quote:

O(∩_∩)O~

Anyone familiar with Chinese emoticons here?

(∩_∩) looks like smiling with your eyes. It might mean a "deep and relaxing" happiness but don't quote me on that.

O(∩_∩)O is either the above really odd ears or throwing your hands up in celebration. probably the second (kinda contradicts what I said up top )

I have no idea what the ~ means.

Perhaps it means I am relaxed an happy whilst a power drill forces his way through my brain.

Methinks it's a happy monkey (the ~ would be its tail).

That design most certainly is Japanese and not Chinese, no offense The N_N sign is always one of pleasure or content in these instances.
