Portuguese term or phrase: dhaushdua
This is a response in a questionnaire where people give their opinions on advertisements.

I wondered if it was mistyped, but it comes up in an internet search amongst Portuguese text, but I can't understand it.

Guidance appreciated - and apologies if it is rude!

I wonder if it's a way of people showing they are laughing...

In Brazil, I have friends that will "write their laugh" while chatting like this:

kkkkkk

hahahahahahaah

uhauahauhauahuahaua

so it might be that...

agree  Fabian Deckwirth: yes, and dhaushdua or hdaushdua seems something like that. But it might not express laughing, could be something else, too.
