tsu

We've sent Troll face, Epic Face, and even Derpy Face... But what about Japanese Smiley Face? ツ This character is "tsu" in the Japanese language and is one of the most used text emojis since the creation of the internet and it somehow hasn't been tokenized yet. In Japan, the smiley face, often represented by the katakana character “ツ” (tsu), is commonly used as a symbol of happiness or a smile, especially in text-based communication. It’s a shorthand way to convey a feeling of joy or amusement, similar to how Westerners might use “:)”. However, Japanese emoticons (kaomoji) often focus on the eyes to convey emotion rather than the mouth, as they are seen as a more subtle way to express feelings. The character “ツ” is part of the Japanese writing system and is not inherently a smiley face, but its resemblance to a smiling mouth in Western emoticons has led to its adoption in online communication.
