「笑」 is read as "xiào" in Standard Chinese, but 「草」 is read as "cǎo", not "hua". The characters mean "laughter" and "grass" respectively.
In Japanese the characters would be read as "wara" and "kusa" in this context. They're basically just the equivalents to "lol" and "lmao" in that language. The backstory behind "kusa" in particular is pretty funny.
笑. 草, even.
Is that
Xiao. Hua, even?

Thanks. Yeah, I ended up looking out up and I was confused because it was either grass, but also fuck.
I didn't even consider the Japanese meaning, lol.
TIL 草 is Chinese internet slang for "fuck"
touch grass
