Usage notes
editUsage of multiple brackets is used to emphasize the laughter or funiness, but it may also suggest an ironic or sarcastic tone. Multiple brackets with zeroes - )0 or (9 - are used similarly to !1, implying that shift key was released, expressing an emphasis. ")))" is not to be confused with ((( ))), known as a far-right symbol directed against Jewish people.
