      Another one Japan uses is “草” (pronounced: kusa) the kanji for “grass”. Because “wwwww” looks like a field a grass

    I love this. The evolution of the slang is so interesting. I read somewhere else that Japan started to use the symbol for “grass” to mean great laughter because the initial abbreviation “www” looks like blades of grass.
