Why do many Ukrainians and Russians keep typing random brackets?
I've been noticing that many people from Ukraine and Russia (and a few other countries) keep ending sentences not with full stops / periods but with brackets. Is this something to do with Cyrillic keyboards or something else?

And ((( mean bad emotions. For example
i'm here)) - i'm happy, that i'm here
i'm here(( - i'm sad, that i'm here
it's better to use ) ( .. in internet writting instead of . (one dot), coz dot means that u dont have any emotions now.. it's like order to do something))
gimme this. - i dont want to hear that u cnt, simply give me this.
i'm at home. - i dont have interes to write u, that im at home now
i'm at home.. - n i dont know what to do or i'm thinkin about something, want but cnt say more
i think, this is bad explainin, but u can see, that we use not only brackes for emotions ))

you mean like this?))))))))))))
it is a "smile" :-)
It means that this sentence is written with positive emotions.
For example:
It is raining. I'm wet )))))
means that your'e wet, but not angry.
or
You're an idiot ))))
means that you do not want to assault a person. It is more like a joke.
