Frequently asked questions
What is a kaomoji?
A kaomoji (顔文字, Japanese for “face characters”) is an emoticon built from text and Unicode symbols, such as (＾▽＾) or ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Unlike Western emoticons like :-), kaomoji are read upright and often include arms, blushing cheeks or props.
How do I copy a kaomoji?
Click or tap any kaomoji on this page — it is copied to your clipboard instantly. Then paste it anywhere with Ctrl + V (Cmd + V on Mac) or long-press → Paste on your phone.
Do kaomoji work everywhere?
Yes, they are plain text. A few use rare Unicode characters (such as the combining marks in the Lenny face) that can look slightly different depending on the font, but they paste correctly in WhatsApp, Discord, Instagram, X, Reddit and email.
What is the difference between kaomoji and emoji?
Emoji are single pictographic characters drawn by your device (😀), while kaomoji are made of several ordinary text characters. Kaomoji existed long before emoji and many people still prefer their expressive, hand-crafted look.
Looking for picture emojis instead? Use the emoji keyboard.
