Text faces bowing low to say sorry, thank you or please, from m(_ _)m to the full kneeling orz. Tap one to copy it.
The classic bowing kaomoji is m(_ _)m. It is drawn from above: the two m are hands flat on the floor, the brackets are the head, and _ _ are eyes closed as the forehead tips down. In Japan a deep bow carries apology, thanks or a request, so the same face can mean any of the three, and the words beside it decide which. The lowest bow is dogeza, kneeling with the forehead to the ground, and orz draws it from the side.
