What does it mean when a person puts a "" or "" in messages?
I use the "" when I'm happy/excited about something so it's like I'm whistling/singing, but is that the correct interpretation?
I don't normally use the "."

Haha - best question ever!
I was wondering for years why I get all these strange animoticons, smileys and fancy bracket-monsters when there is nothing really funny in the mail.
Truth is: This is very common in Japan and does not really have a whole lot to do with the message itself. Yes, you do not put a shiny star in the message if someone is sad. But there are literally no rules at all. I experienced most Japanese simply put a few fancy smileys a the end of her message to end it (instead of: Cheers, Peter)

Haha thanks :)
I figured, "well, he's probably doing fine" after I got a message with a in it lol.
I've also experienced that even in a supposedly business message, the other person (Japanese) uses smiley faces/stars/etc.
