UwU is a popular text-based emoticon among conveying a feeling of happiness or smugness. Its appearance stems from anime and manga, where it is common for to characters close their eyes while smiling. It has gained a lot of popularity since all you need to write it are the letters ‘u’ (or ‘U’) and ‘w’. Some people even claim that there is a whole subculture on tumblr and kpop fandoms called the “uwu culture” where everyone hides behind cute and sparkly texts in order to hide their real feelings. UwU is commonly used along with the OWO what’s this? emoticon.

If you have trouble reading UwU try to imagine that the “U”s are two closed eyes while the “w” is an upturned, excited mouth. You can also put a ‘face’ around UwU like this: (U w U) or scroll down to see different variations of this emoticon.
