To communicate with our friends and family, both in Android like in iOS, the most used messaging application is WhatsApp. Through it, we can send texts, photos, videos, voice notes or stickers, however, in the platform’s chats, users also usually share send emoji created from letters like ‘7w7′ or the ‘7u7′, which is widely used for flirting. Which is the reason? Here we tell you.
The ‘7w7′ is one of the oldest emoticons on the web and is also often written by replacing the ‘w’ with a ‘u’ (i.e. like ‘7u7′). It is not strange that many people find it something unknown, since its origin is quite distant from current contexts.

The origin of ‘7w7′
Like many other expressions created from the combination of numbers and letters, the ‘7w7′ belongs to that first generation of emoticons that were made from the first websites and chat rooms in Japan in the 1990s.
There is no official source that indicates the exact origin of this specific emoticon, but its authorship is usually coined to a fanfiction user, who began using it in his work back in 2005.
Be that as it may, ‘7w7’ has survived all the changes and innovations that have appeared in recent years, including smartphone applications (each with its own set of emoji) and other methods to communicate such as gifs and stickers.
What does ‘7w7′ and ‘7u7′ mean in WhatsApp?
Let us now turn to the meaning. As detailed by many specialized technology portals, the ‘7w7’ is nothing less than a representation of a mischievous face in letter format. If you pay attention to its composition (and use your imagination a bit) you will notice that the numbers ‘7’ can be perceived as a pair of eyes.
The letter ‘w’ (which can also be ‘u’) could in this case represent a grimace made with the mouth indicating tenderness, coquetry or even an embarrassing suggestion. That is why many people use it to try to flirt.
That is why ‘7w7′ is still widely used by many people in WhatsApp and other messaging apps, as well as in social media. Its expression is particular, since it maintains the Japanese/anime style and it is not surprising that it is used by many users who are adept at oriental culture.
