What Does >3 Mean?

Expressing Love in a Text

There are over 100 novel ways to express love in a text message. Some of them were invented by the iKids (i.e., Millennials, Generation Z, and Generation A), making them just a few decades old, but many of them have been around for centuries. Here's the one that matters to you: When used in a text, >3 means "Evil but Happy." While this is its most common meaning in texting, be aware that it is a rare term, and it might mean something else. If our meaning does not fit, give the context of your conversation a name (e.g., love, sport, space, astronomy) and include it in your search term.
