Question about texting / typing interpretation

If there are multiple ^ when replying to a post, does it mean that its that many posts up or is it just emphasis or..?

Like for example:

Person 1: I love peanut butter cos its fun to eat
Person 2: But jelly is better cos it has two "L"s
Person 3: ^^Same I really enjoy it

Is Person 3 replying to Person 1 or Person 2?

Alright so Im in the same boat as everyone else XD

i guess if someone types many ^^^^^^^^^^^^( i dont think anyone will bother counting it) it emphasizes the above statement
whereas if someone uses ^ for only twice or thrice,it means they mean about the sentence which is 2 or 3 posts up...

well thats how i interpret it! :)

as for me, if i want to reply or comment on a post or another comment which is like more than 3 posts up ,ill copy their comment and post my comment with it.....


ill use ur example itself!
Person 1: I love peanut butter cos its fun to eat
Person 2: But jelly is better cos it has two "L"s
Person 3: ^^Same I really enjoy it (ill interpret it as this person is talking about what person 1 told)
person 2 : i like nutella better than peanut butter
person 1 : i like pancakes better than macroons
person 2 : i love oreos
person 1: i love donuts
person 2 : i love cotton candy
person 1 : i like candied apple
person 3 : @person1 " i like pancakes better than macroons"
yup meeee too!! i like pancakes better!!!
(thats how i would reply)

whereas if ^^ is used after a sentence i consider it as an emoticon!

Personally, when I happen to use multiple ^, it would mean that I am replying to the said post which can be found by the same number above me. So, yes, as Person 3, I would be replying to Person 1 that way. There might be times though where ^^ might be intended as an Emoji. That is much more noticeable if it is used in the end of a sentence !!!!

Ohhh that's something I think about too lmao.

I always see it as a ^^ face.

But then sometimes it means they're replying 2 posts above?

Emphasis would be ^^^^^ I think if the post is more than 2 above you'd just type @name, at least I would :v
