Kaomoji explained
Kaomoji read upright, unlike Western emoticons.
Kaomoji (顔文字, from kao “face” and moji “character”) are Japanese emoticons built from text characters. Unlike Western emoticons such as :-) that are read sideways, kaomoji are read upright, so the face looks right at you: (＾▽＾). Because they are plain text, kaomoji work everywhere you can type – Discord, TikTok captions, Instagram bios, games, email and SMS – with no image or app required.
How to copy and use kaomoji
- Browse by mood or search for a feeling, animal or action.
- Tap any kaomoji or the Copy button – it goes straight to your clipboard.
- Paste it into your chat, post, bio or comment.
- Tap the heart to save favourites so you can find them again later.

| Sad | (T▽T) | Tears, disappointment | Sympathy |
| Sleepy | (－_－) zzZ | Tired, bored | Late-night chats |
| Lenny face | ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) | Cheeky, suggestive, “you know what I mean” | Teasing, memes |
| Calm down | ┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ) | Putting the flipped table back | Replying to a table flip |
