I won't claim to be an expert in written chuckles, but that's what I've always read this to be. Sort of like one repetition of the type of chuckle you almost can't hear from someone sitting in a corner & listening in on a funny conversation. And I pronounce it with a short "e" sound. my daughter says it should be more like a short "u" sound, but if you write it that way, it may be confused with the one-syllable sound that means that you don't quite get it and ends with a questioning tone.
