How is that a bomberman?

I personally see a metal helmet with an eyeslit to see out of, and a flying tassel on top of the head.

I don't know the terms, but many Chinese keyboards like Sogou have this feature built in. So, yeah, people use things like :D but they also use emotes which are platform specific and also the more fancy ones built into keyboards.

I had read about https://kaomoji.ru/en/. I don't know if there's a specific word for the Chinese counterpart or if they do it the same way Japanese do.

{顔文字|kaomoji}, the word, uses adapted Chinese characters (literally: face characters/letters), so I wouldn't be surprised if their word for it uses their equivalent.

{顔文字|yánwénzì} doesn't sound as cool
