What owo means
The two O letters are wide, round eyes and the w is a small mouth. Together they show a face that just noticed something interesting. People often write it next to “what’s this?”, as in “owo what’s this?”. It is curious, a little surprised and very cute.
In kaomoji form you will see it with brackets and extras, like (OwO) or the starry ☆(owo )☆.
OwO versus uwu
They look similar but feel different. Uwu has closed, happy eyes, so it is calm and content. Owo has open eyes, so it is alert and curious. If a friend shows you a new outfit, “owo” says “ooh, let me see!”. If they send you a sweet message, “uwu” says “aww”.

- Silly chaos:
