japanese style emoticons

Japanese-style emoticons (also known as anime emoticons, verticons, or kaomoji) differ from conventional emoticons because they are viewed vertically. These emoticons borrow heavily from the anime drawing style, with a lot of expression shown using the eyes. These emoticons are often abbreviated by leaving off the parentheses, so (^_^) will become ^_^. They can be further abbreviated by leaving out the mouth, so ^_^ becomes ^^. The longer the mouth, the stronger the emoticon’s meaning.
This list contains examples of these emoticons that can be created using plain ASCII characters (so they’re not really kaomoji, but still).
Thanks to everyone that has contributed to the list.
