Kaomoji to copy and paste: Japanese faces

Kaomoji are text faces that started in Japan and are read upright, without tilting your head. Using brackets, letters from other alphabets and symbols, they form expressions like a hug, a little bear, a shrug or a flying table. This page gives you a collection ready to copy, with the name of each emotion and its Unicode code points, and you can add several to the board to build your own combination. Because they use many alphabets, some parts may look different depending on your phone's font. Test them in the chat or bio where you plan to use them.

Frequently asked questions

What is a kaomoji?

It is a text face from Japan, made with characters and read upright, like (◕‿◕). Unlike emoji, it is not an image: it is text you can edit.

How are they different from ASCII faces?

ASCII faces use only basic keyboard characters, like :-) or ^_^. Kaomoji mix symbols and letters from other alphabets to create more expressions.

Why does a kaomoji look broken?

If your device's font lacks one of the characters, a box appears or the face gets misaligned. Try a simpler face or check on another device.
