Kaomoji by Emotion: Every Feeling in Text Faces

Kaomoji by emotion sorts Japanese text faces by the feeling they show, so you can copy the right one fast: happy and proud, love and shy, sad, angry, playful tongue-out faces, plus sunny beach and ocean moods. Each face below has one-tap copy, a short meaning and when to use it.

Happy and proud kaomoji

Raised arms (ヽ ﾉ, ٩ ۶) add celebration; ドヤ and ｂ (thumbs up) turn a smile into pride, the «proud kaomoji» people search for.

Love and shy kaomoji

Hearts (♡) inside or beside the face mean love; ⁄ ⁄ and 〃 marks are blushing cheeks for shy moments.

Sad and crying kaomoji

╥ and T eyes are streams of tears; ﹏ is a wobbly mouth. Pick the softer ˘ faces for a quiet sad mood.

Angry and annoyed kaomoji

皿 and 益 are clenched teeth, ╬ marks a popping vein, and ﾌﾟﾝ (pun) is the sound of a pout.

Tongue out and playful kaomoji

p, ρ and ε in the mouth spot look like a tongue sticking out or lips pursed; they turn any face into a tease. These cover the «tongue out kaomoji» search.

Sun, beach and ocean kaomoji

Sun ☀ ☼ and waves 🌊 〰 set the scene; these answer «sun kaomoji» and «ocean kaomoji». Emoji parts show in your device’s emoji style.

One-tap copy, filed by feeling

Tap any face above and it is copied with every character intact, ready for Discord, iMessage, Instagram or a game chat. Faces are grouped by the feeling they show, so you can pick by mood instead of scrolling one giant list.

Cute / happy / love / sad entry points

Start with the happy and proud group for good news, love and shy for sweet messages, sad and crying for sympathy, and the angry group for joking outrage. The home library has a search box and mood chips for everything else.

How the parts show the emotion

The eyes carry most of the feeling: ^ ^ and ◕ ◕ are happy, ╥ ╥ and T T are tears, ಠ ಠ is a hard stare. The mouth adds detail: ▽ is an open laugh, ﹏ wobbles, 皿 and 益 are clenched teeth, p and ρ stick a tongue out. Arms like ヽ ﾉ and ٩ ۶ mean celebrating, and extras such as ♡, ☀ or 🌊 set the scene.

Using them in a chat

• «I passed the exam!! ٩(^▽^)۶»
• «Good night, talk tomorrow (˘³˘)♡»
• «My flight got cancelled (╥﹏╥)»
• «Who ate my last cookie (`皿´)»
• «Just kidding (^p^)»
• «Beach day! ☀(^▽^)»

Keep the angry and crying faces for friends who know you are joking; in work chats a simple smile reads more clearly.

Do these faces work on iPhone, Android and Discord?

We have not published a per-device test table for these faces yet, so we do not claim how each one renders on iPhone, Android, Windows or Discord. Faces built from common symbols such as ▽ ω ﹏ 皿 usually display on current phones; faces with ☀ 🌊 🏖 show those emoji in your device's own style. Paste a face where you plan to use it to check.
