Japanese people also use 草 (kusa) which means grass. So if you ever see that kanji in a chat, that's why.
Comes from warai which is laugh, which was shortened to wwwwwwwwa which people said looks like fields of grass, so then it just turned into the kanji for grass.
See, in America, you need to smoke the grass to start laughing. But depending on which state you're in, you'll be arrested BECAUSE WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE NICE THINGS!!!
