ぽかぽか (pokapoka), written to the right of the cat's face, is the Japanese word for the gentle warmth that seeps into you from sunshine, a hot bath or a warm drink. Here the warmth comes from the ☀ in the top-left corner. Below it, three ⋱ step down one per row, each a little further right than the last, and make a dotted sunbeam that ends on row 4, just short of the cat's side. In math, ⋱ is the diagonal ellipsis, the dots that mean “and so on” along the diagonal of a matrix. The cat has pointed ∧ ∧ ears and the face ( ᵕ ω ᵕ ). Each ᵕ is the bottom half of a small o, a tiny curve that bulges downward, and reads as an eye narrowed in contentment, and the ω between them is the classic kaomoji cat mouth. Under the face, the slightly wider ( ∪ ∪ ) is the body, with two front paws ∪ ∪ set neatly side by side. The tail rises up the right side in two pieces: a full-width ノ on the bottom row, then a thinner half-width ﾉ on the row above, so the tail narrows toward the tip. Along the bottom, ◟＿＿＿◞ curves up at both ends like a shallow dish, which could be a cushion or the patch of sunlight the cat has claimed. Japan even has a name for a mild, sunny day in late autumn or early winter, koharu-biyori, “little spring weather,” and this small original AA is a cat making the most of one.
