What is kaomoji?
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.

- Tap any kaomoji or the Copy button – it goes straight to your clipboard.

Frequently asked questions
Are kaomoji free to copy?
Yes. Every kaomoji here is plain Unicode text, free to copy and use in personal or commercial posts.
What is the difference between kaomoji and emoji?
Emoji are single pictographs drawn by your device. Kaomoji are faces assembled from many text characters, so they look the same on every platform and can show more nuanced expressions.
Why does a kaomoji look broken on my phone?
Some kaomoji use rare Unicode symbols. If your font lacks a character it may show as a box – try a simpler variant from the same mood.
Can I suggest a new kaomoji?
Yes – search for a word or mood, then use “Suggest a kaomoji” under its results. Your face appears in the community picks for that search.
