What Does "kekeke" (ㅋㅋㅋ) Mean in Korean?

This is almost exclusively used in digital communication (texting, online chat, social media) and is rarely, if ever, spoken aloud. The number of 'ㅋ's can convey the intensity of the laughter; a single 'ㅋ' might be a smirk, 'ㅋㅋ' a small chuckle, and 'ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ' or more for hearty laughter. It's universally understood among Korean internet users across all ages, though younger generations use it more frequently.
