What is a kaomoji?
A kaomoji is a face typed in letters and read upright: (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) rather than the sideways :-). The word is Japanese, kao for face and moji for character, and the faces grew up on Japanese message boards before they spread to every chat, bio and comment section.
Over 300 of them are here, sorted by mood and each named for what it says. Above them the die puts new ones together, one at a time, from the parts kaomoji are made of.
How to use kaomoji
- Find a face by its mood, or type what you need in the search at the top: cat, hug, sleepy.
- Tap it. It is copied at once, and a note at the bottom of the screen shows which one.
- Paste it into a message, a caption, a comment or your bio, as you would any text.
Kaomoji for every mood
- Cute and soft: blushing cheeks ˶ and ⸝⸝, round eyes ᵔ and tiny mouths ᵕ, as in (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶).
- Animals: cats ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ, bunnies ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა, bears ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ and puppies U・ᴥ・U.
- Feelings: happy ٩(◕‿◕)۶, sad (╥﹏╥), angry (╬ಠ益ಠ), shy (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄) and scared (((;ꏿ_ꏿ;))).
- Love: hearts for eyes, hearts blown as kisses, two faces in one hug; letters strung with hearts are on our page of the heart font.
- Classics: the table flip (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻, the shrug ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and the lenny face ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).
- Letters to go with them, from bubbles to hearts, are on our page of cute fonts, and moodier ones among our aesthetic fonts.
What kaomoji are made of
Every face is borrowed letters. The ears of the bunny ૮ ა are a Gujarati eight and a Georgian letter, the bear’s ʕ ʔ come from the phonetic alphabet, the cat’s paws ฅ are a Thai letter, and many mouths, like ω, are Greek.
To make your own, take a shell or a pair of arms, cheeks, two eyes and a mouth: ( + ˶ + ᵔ + ᵕ + ᵔ + ˶ + ) gives (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶). Copy the parts one by one from Kaomoji symbols, or let the die put them together.
Kaomoji, emoji and emoticons
Emoticons like :) are read with your head tilted. Emoji are pictures your phone draws, and each phone draws them its own way. Kaomoji are plain text, so they can be changed letter by letter, and they look alike wherever the letters exist.
Questions
What does kaomoji mean?
Face characters: kao is Japanese for face and moji for character. They are faces drawn with letters and read upright, like (＾▽＾).
How do I type kaomoji on my phone?
Copy one here and paste it. For a face you use often, save it as a text replacement in your keyboard settings: then a short word you type turns into the face.
Can I use kaomoji on Instagram, TikTok and Discord?
Yes. Kaomoji are text, so they work in names, bios, captions, comments and chats; only a few games and older apps refuse unusual letters.
What is the table flip kaomoji?
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻, a face throwing a table over in frustration. Its answer, ┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ), calmly puts the table back.
What does ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) mean?
It is the lenny face, a sly, knowing look that forums of the early 2010s used for mischief and innuendo.
How does the die make new kaomoji?
It picks parts of the mood you chose, a shell or arms, cheeks, eyes, a mouth and something to follow, and joins them. It can make over 100,000 faces, many of which nobody has typed before.
Why do some kaomoji show as boxes?
A face can borrow a letter that a phone’s fonts lack. Those here use letters that phones and computers almost always have.
