    Uh, sure, ^^ has been so popular that even some renowned German news webpages have articles on it:

    • https://www.heise.de/tipps-tricks/Was-bedeutet-6268625.html
    • https://praxistipps.chip.de/das-bedeutet-dieser-smiley_92160
    • https://www.giga.de/extra/netzkultur/specials/was-bedeuten-die-zeichen-im-chat-doppeldach/

    Wikipedia also mentions it:

    Im Internet werden zwei Zirkumflexe (^^) verwendet, um Freude oder Belustigung über die vorhergehende Aussage auszudrücken. Die beiden Symbole sollen vor Kichern zwinkernde Augen darstellen. Man findet es in Chatgroups, Foren, MMORPGs und dergleichen

    https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zirkumflex#Verwendung

    I guess, here’s some less good English sources, too:

    • https://www.quora.com/What-does-mean-in-texting-1
    • https://www.askingbox.com/question/what-is-the-meaning-of-superscript-corners-as-smiley

    And I’d wager more than 90% of the folks on feddit.org have used ^^ before, if you want to ask real people about it.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We’re all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don’t like a thing doesn’t mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
