hee hee

Mischievous little laugh

Hee hee is a representation of laughter, typically suggesting amusement that's mischievous, nervous, or suppressed rather than full-throated.

It often appears in dialogue or informal writing to convey giggling: Hee hee, I ate the last cookie.

The spelling evokes a higher-pitched, more restrained laugh than ha ha or ho ho.
