^^ at the end of a sentence indicates a smiley face or a playful tone, often used in casual online communication to express happiness, light-heartedness, or a friendly sentiment.

Hello

can you tell me what these symbols at the end of the sentence mean: ^^ ^^' ^^"

I find on the net: happy, cool, amused but it can't be that in the context of certain sentences

thank you

Hello, it's simply a smiley. It's often found in IRC chat rooms to mock users, or to signify irony, sarcasm, etc.

Thank you, Rocky, I do know that!
But it doesn't help me much in the context of the sentences in question. I should clarify that this concerns exchanges between young people.

It's a smiley face in the Japanese style, while the classic :-) is more Western.

the other symbols are fine but the ^^ my daughter apparently doesn't understand it, it doesn't have the same meaning for both,

- we don't talk much anymore o.o

She uses it all the time but is completely unable to explain its meaning. For example, the other day a friend told her:

- baka
she replied ^^ "that no longer makes sense with the definition we find?!
or

- I'm doing my homework
she replies ok ^^

finally, we're straying from the topic, those were just examples, but she is very disturbed by this response ^^ and doesn't want to ask :/

thanks again
