About thank you faces

Thank you kaomoji are grateful text faces — hands pressed together, warm smiles, hearts, and the Japanese word ありがとう (arigatou) — that make a thank-you feel warmer than plain text.

The most common thank-you shape is 人, a Chinese and Japanese character that looks like two hands pressed together. In faces like (人´∀`) or (*˘︶˘人), it shows gratitude or a small bow of thanks. ㅅ, a Korean letter, plays the same role in faces like (ㅅ´ ˘ `).

ありがとう (arigatou) means thank you in Japanese, and ありがとうございます (arigatou gozaimasu) is the polite form. Half-width ｱﾘｶﾞﾄ is the same word in a cute, compact style. English shortcuts — ty, thx, tysm (thank you so much) — pair well with soft faces like (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶).

For a deeper thank-you, a bow works too: m(_ _)m can mean both sorry and thank you, depending on the words around it.

Thank-you faces often add a bow or a gift to a smile. Bowing figures use m(_ _)m or a lowered head to show respect, which comes from Japanese bowing etiquette and suits formal or heartfelt thanks. Faces holding a heart or flower show warm gratitude between friends, and cheering faces with arms up show excited thanks after a big favor. Choosing among them lets you match the size of your thanks to what the other person did, from a quick favor to real help.
