In Japanese emoticons, parentheses are used to outline the face (sometimes braces are used as well for this purpose), an underscore to represent the mouth, and asterisks or hyphens for representing the eyes. Here are some simple and basic examples of Japanese text smiley faces:

• (*_*) use of asterisks for the eyes represents a happy face
• (-_-) use of hyphens for the eyes represents indifference
• (^.^) use of ^^ for the eyes represents stress
• (-_-;) Use of a semi-colon or a quotation mark represents a Sweat Drop which can be interpreted as nervousness and anxiety
• ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ use of Combining Characters makes it possible to create more sophisticated and complex emoticons
