1. A smiley face, meaning you are happy, but it is more than ":)" or ":D"
Similar to o3o , but more cheerful. The "^^"s depict closed eyes and the "3" depicts puckered lips.

2. A smiley face meaning you are impressed.

3. A smiley face meaning you want to kiss someone.

1. Thanks for the friend invite ^3^

2. Wow, you showed that idiot who's boss. I'm so looking up to you now ^3^

3. Gimme some lovin baby ^3^

It's supposed to be a coy internet smiley face, resembling something like a cat, cuteness in nature.

I personally think it looks like a ballsack mouth.

Woman: Meow!! :3

Man: I'm gonna teabag your ass! :3

<3

This emoticon literally means "heart" since that is what it looks when viewed sideways. In IM language though, it's a less serious way of saying somebody you "love" them, or at least "care for" them. Even if you do really "love" somebody, you don't want to say it every minute and every day -- it gets old and may even scare him or her. So, use "<3" for normal every day conversations, reserving "love" during the times you really want the other to know you mean it.

(Sample IM chat)

you: ok, i'm going to sleep now.
her: nitey nite <3
you: <3 you too.

<3

A heart shaped symbol typically sent from someone to their significant other via text message, email, etc.

1. Usually used when one has strong emotions for another that are hard to express, i.e love, happiness

Commonly used when one is too shy to say "I love you" for fear of it being taken the wrong way, or scaring off the person receiving the message

"Alex, I really like you, and hypothetically speaking, I miss you more. <3"
