旺柴 is the name of the yellow dog-head expression added to WeChat in January 2020.
It became part of everyday Chinese messaging culture.
The side-eye. The smirk. The “I know something you don’t” look.
Its sideways look made it perfect for sarcasm, jokes, reaction messages, “you know what I mean” moments, and Chinese group-chat culture.
