Kaoani

Kaoani is derived from the Japanese words for " face" (颜, kao ) and "Animation" (アニ, ani) composite name for an animated version of the smileys. Commonly used is the spelling Kao- ani and the abbreviation Kao.

The originating from Japan and, therefore, also known as Japanese Smileys Kaoanis usually move up and down. Here, the size of the dark field changed under the figures, which purports to be her shadow. This is to illustrate that a Kaoani floats.

The faces of the Kaoanis press as smileys from emotions, which they also resemble emoticons. One particular similarity to the Japanese Emoticon variant, the Emojis. Through amendments to the rounded, flattened, wider below the body - which is unlike the smiley white - can Kaoanis numerous figures embody, about animals, foods, or cartoon characters. With additional accessories Kaoanis form also from activities.

Usually Kaoanis are implemented as files in the Graphics Interchange Format ( GIF), but also other formats for animated graphics are possible, such APNG. The animation is produced by a succession of several slightly different frames, usually at least four, then render at Kaoanis the loop as a continuous movement. A sequence of speed commonly used of the individual images is 0.2 seconds per image.
