These Japanese emoticons are raising a hand in a salute. They might be military kaomoji or they might just be being cute.Yes sir! I’m working on it! ( ・∀・ )ゞThese kaomojis are pretty easy to make too. All you need is a bent arm sort of characters indicate the raised saluting arm. ゞ, ゝ”, ゝ and ∠ work perfectly and if you can add a bit of a shake with ” that looks pretty awesome as well.ω Mouths
The only way to really sort these text faces was to separate them into groups based on what kind of character they use for a mouth. This first group uses a ω character for their mouths. They are all saluting using characters like ゞ, which is great because the little lines add movement to the gesture. Sir, yes sir!

ε Mouths
This next group of saluting emojis all use a ε character for their mouth to make puckered lips. They look pretty silly while giving a salutation, as if they are not totally serious. Use these if you are making a joke or poking fun at something. You definitely don’t want to send these saluting emoticons to a drill sargeant.
