XD

Eyes squeezed shut

XD is an emoticon representing a laughing face with eyes squeezed shut—the X forms closed eyes, the D a wide-open mouth.

It conveys amusement or silliness, often exaggerated: That video killed me XD.

Common in casual online communication, it reads as playful and slightly juvenile compared to alternatives like "lol." Sometimes written lowercase as xD.
