Mastering the Art of Text Greetings
Starting a conversation online can be awkward, but Greeting kaomojis make it easy. Unlike a standard "Hello" or the generic 👋 emoji, these Japanese emoticons use dynamic arm characters like /, ノ, or ヾ to simulate a friendly wave. They are the perfect icebreaker.
Top Ways to Say Hello
From a polite bow to an energetic high-five, here are the styles you should know:
- The Standard Wave:
( ^_^)／- A safe, friendly wave suitable for work Slacks or new Discord servers. - The Excited Greeting:
( *・∀・)ノ- High energy! Use this when a close friend comes online. - The Polite Bow:
(o^ ^o)- A respectful way to welcome someone or say "Ohayo" (Good morning). - The Peek:
|･ω･)- The "Lurker" hello. Perfect for popping into a chat after being silent.
Best Places to Use Them
These symbols are staples in Discord general chats for welcoming new members. They are also widely used by streamers on Twitch to greet raiders without spamming giant emotes.
