mwa

Sound of kissing

Mwa is the written representation of a kiss sound—lips pressed together then released.

It appears in casual digital communication to convey affection: Thanks for the gift, mwa!

Sometimes elongated for emphasis: mwah or mwaaah.

The spelling mimics the actual sound of an air kiss.
