Thomas,

you came close. It is about eyes and heads.

This is emoji -> japanese emoticon

you look into a face, watch the eyes (japanese style, the mouth will not be used to express emotions)
(+.+) distracted
(~.~) unhappy
(_ _) bow (this is not the face, the face is now the donwside)

IOW I see my failure and excuse myself

(^.^) me smiling (note: mouth is closed, indicating female. Male would be (^_^) )

see http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji#Japanische_Emoticons, maybe a bit of its history too.

Agnes
