V Mouths
These Japanese emoticons simply use the English letter v for a mouth, which can either be upper or lower case. You can decide which case to use as it really just depends on how big you prefer the smile to be. No matter what eyes you use for these emoticons, the v mouth keeps them looking pleased. Go ahead and experiment with different possibilities!| (*´・ｖ・) | (*＾v＾*) | （＾ｖ＾） |

Simple Flat Mouths
These are some simple Japanese emoticons with flat, happy mouths. These flat mouths are made using either _, -, ー, or ▂ . Everything else about the emoticon is flexible, including it’s eyes, whether or not it has arms, words, or other fancy decorations like stars (☆). This style of emoticon is classic as well as easy to make.
