    I am a bit confused.

    The Chinese character above 壁 means "wall" and is read "kabe". I do not think that it has anything to do with an emoticon.

    The last three characters チラッ are katanata syllables which read "chira' " and mean "very briefly", "hardly" or "just a little".

    In between, you have the cyrillic letter д for "d".

    yes that is why i am so confused! I was speaking to my penpal when they wrote this down and left, I did a search and have seen it on a few emoticon websites but with no explanation

    I will ask them when they return, but curiosity just got to me first

    If that's what it means, then it's probably similar to the emoticon we have of someone bashing their head against the wall.

    Zoom out a bit, and you'll see an angry anime-style guy punching with his right fist and raising his left fist.

    Got it!

    It a face hiding behind a wall, of which you see only the nose and the left eye. You are just seeing a glimpse of it, hence "chira' " = "[see you/see me] just a little, briefly."
