+++

A symbol in [[comic]]s drawn next to a character's head to represent laughter, mirth, or happiness. Looks a bit like ╀─╀, but with a curved line. Commonly used in place of actual laughter when a character is in the background, or the scene is otherwise silent.¶

[b]Do not[/b] mistake for the "Chinese radical":[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_(Chinese_characters)] " "艹":[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/艹] ", which is often used as a shorter and more euphemistic form of ""cao":[https://dictionary.hantrainerpro.com/chinese-english/translation-cao_fuck.htm]" (a Chinese swear word that translates to "fuck") when typing/writing.¶
