^_^

Yesterday I read an article on Deric Bownds' MindBlog. It seems that it takes a bunch of scientists in order to come to the conclusion that a concave line and two dots - i. e. :( - indicate a sad face. Vice versa a convex line with two dotes - i. e. :) - indicate a happy face. Well, I think this only works in western countries. Asians generally tend to focus on the eye region of the face which leads to interesting smilies like ^_^ or ~.^.
