The X isn't kisses. The X stand for closes eyes and the O is an open mouth, hence XO = kiss emote and XOXO is the plural
Doesn't "XOXO" mean "hugs and kisses"? The X represents a kiss and the O represents a hug.
Yeah, you are right. Guess we used it wrong in school.
You're interpreting a much older shorthand with online emoticon rules. XO is a closed-eye open-mouth emoticon, but XOXO has been "hugs and kisses" for long enough to have been used when people wrote letters by hand.
