What is the Japanese version of lol?

“W” is the equivalent to “lol.” The “w” is short for 笑う (わらう – to laugh). You'll also see the kanji character 笑 (わらい– laugh) used pretty often. I find that 笑 is more mature sounding (think of “hahaha” vs. “lololol”), and in my experience I've seen more guys use 笑 over “w”.
