but with recent reformatting my msn nickname got reset together with my bookmarks being gone (I should have exported them lol). Thign is I'm looking for this mark but then up instead of facing to the left "3" I use the 3 for a smilleys on forums :3 but on msn I had a turned version that went in this one: (=•_•=)

So now I wondered if anyone could reply this character for me and I wondered if you can type it yourself as well, are they alt codes or something else?
Also if anyone remembers what site I meant could you link it?

Not sure if I understood you correctly... but did you mean this: ω

O.O YESH!
Thank you so much!

edit:
How can you type that character?

[martino]

I'm afraid I don't know how (I could try asking a friend of mine who might know but I think somebody else might give you the answer here before I'd be able to get it). I only searched for "Asian smileys" and it came there. I tried typing '3' and 'san' however it doesn't come up with the one you want.

Unicode charts might prove to be a handy reference as well.

[Clarste]

BTW, that's the lowercase form of the Greek letter omega. It's not related to the number 3 nor is it particularly Asian. Although I suppose it's use as an emoticon might be.

I need to know the meaning of this sentence:
"Yukuri Onegaishimasu moichido"

I remember that it means "please repeat what you say one more time", but is not so sure.

On another note, i know some uses of Doozo and Doomo (Doozo yoroshiku and doomo arigatoo, for example), but does they have any meanings when they are separate?

[Jan-Poo]

there is a specific thread for japanese-english translations requests, anyway:

yukkuri means "slowly", "with ease".
onegaishimasu is a very polite way to say "please"
mo means again, more, too, at last (depending on the context)
ichido means one time

Your translation therefore is correct, "repeat" is implicit but it could be any kind of action. you forgot "slowly" though.

"douzo" means "please" but it implies that you are politely inviting someone to do something. for example: "please take a seat". while when it's a request for a favor you should use "onegai".

"doumo" is usually paired with "arigatou" and it's the same as saying "thank you very much" but i personally do not know much more than this ^^;

Thank you very much ^^

I was planning to ask another question, which is regarding more into culture(not Japanese), so decided to post here. But half way i decided not to, so yeah.... by then could not be bothered to delete this and post another one in Japanese thread.

If so, then you need to uncheck the option xris just mentioned.

For displaying the list to others, just go to Profile Privacy and pick an option there.

Question: in math, what is the sign that look like = but have three parallel lines instead of two means.

Then if:
A "that sign" B
...then what does it means?

[Konpachi]

^ i believe it means 'is exactly equals to'; not really sure what that implies though, interested in the answer too.

[idiffer]

x := y or x ≡ y means x is defined to be another name for y, under certain assumptions taken in context.

(Some writers use ≡ to mean congruence).
