Etymology
Originally derived from the term わら・わらい【笑】 wara(i), but due to the lack of Japanese encoding support in many early online games and chatboards, the abreviation "w" became a common alternative and was lengthened for emphatic purposes.
Notes
The similar abreviation "kkk" derives from ククク kukuku and is used to mark evil laughter.
