Today, my Japanese friend passed me the result of the emoticon experiment which he gathered from his friends. Talking on the same subject, he showed me some of the usual emoticons which Japanese used in their handphones. Can you tell what does the emoticons featured below mean?
(^0^) - happy
(*^_^*)- shy, blushing, but happy
(;_;) - sad, cry
(T_T) - crying, the tear drips
(ToT) - crying out loud
(>_<) - no eye see?
(¬_¬) - suspicious
(‘_^) - winking
(`ε´) - angry, mad at
(`Λ´) - very angry
(~”~;) - frowning upon
0(`Λ´#)0 - very angry, with the hands waving, and seeing the veins
(`ω´#) - still angry, but more like lover type anger 
(^_^;) - sweating
(~.~;) - sweating, relief
f^_^; - sweating, with the handkerchief on the right side
(;-_-)=3 - sign of relief
(*_*) - blur, surprised
(?_?) - what?
m(~ ~)m - am truly very sorry (bowing 90 degree)
(~.~) zzZ - sleepy
v(^_^)v - victory!
(ρ . -) - sleepy, with one hand rubbing the eye
Do you think they look like what they mean? I was having some hard times to guess though :P
