FavoritesSorry & Apology Faces 54
When a plain 'sorry' feels dry, m(_ _)m adds a literal bow to your apology. From the light head-scratch (^_^;) to the fully-prostrated orz, pick the depth that matches the mistake.
orz is a person on hands and knees (o = head, r = arms, z = legs) — the 'no excuses' apology. For sincere moments use the unadorned deep bow <(_ _)>; for small slip-ups, a sheepish (￣▽￣;) keeps things light.

FAQ
Can I use these for serious apologies?
With friends, a deep bow like <(_ _)> adds sincerity. For formal, written apologies, plain respectful language is safer than any emoticon.
What does orz mean?
It's a person prostrating, viewed from the side — o is the head, r the arms, z the kneeling legs. It mixes regret with 'no excuses'.
How do I read m(_ _)m?
The (_ _) is a bowed head; the two m's are hands flat on the floor — a polite Japanese bow in text form.
How should I reply to an apology?
Accept it warmly — a hug like (づ￣ ³￣)づ or a bright (*´∀`*) clears the air fast.
