Where it comes from
The ゞ (a Japanese iteration mark) is the hand raised to the forehead. ￣ are serious, flat eyes and ^ is a firm, pursed mouth.
When to use it
Use it to accept a task, confirm plans or cheer someone off. It's casual and cheeky, so keep it out of formal replies.
Examples
- Got it, I'll bring the snacks (￣^￣)ゞ
- Mission accepted (￣^￣)ゞ
