A symbol drawn next to a character's head to represent [[laughing|laughter]], mirth, happiness or chatting noise. Looks a bit like ╀─╀, but with a curved line. Commonly used for laughter or the noise of a crowd that happens in the background, or in a scene that is otherwise silent.

Not to be confused with the "Chinese radical":[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_(Chinese_characters)] ""艹":[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/艹]", which is often used as a shorter and more euphemistic form of ""cao":[https://dictionary.hantrainerpro.com/chinese-english/translation-cao_fuck.htm]" (Chinese for "fuck") when typing/writing.
