What is a kaomoji?
Kaomoji combines the Japanese words for face and character. Unlike a Western emoticon such as :-), a kaomoji is normally read upright. The eyes often communicate the strongest emotion, while mouths, arms, tears, stars, ears, and other marks add nuance or movement.
How to copy and use these text faces
- Search for the emotion or situation you want, or open a focused collection.
- Tap a face to copy the exact text. Your recent faces remain on this device for quick reuse.
- Paste into a message, profile, document, social post, game chat, or community bio.
Kaomoji use ordinary Unicode text characters rather than a single standardized emoji image. Most modern devices display them well, but complex marks and spacing can shift with the font or app. Preview an elaborate face in the destination before relying on its alignment.
Want to understand the style?
Read the complete kaomoji guide, copy sideways faces from the classic emoticon directory, compare emoji, emoticons, and kaomoji, or assemble a new expression in the kaomoji maker.
Frequently asked questions
Is a kaomoji the same as an emoticon?
A kaomoji is a text face usually read upright. Classic Western emoticons such as :-) are commonly read sideways. Both are made from text characters.
Will kaomoji work in Discord, Instagram, and messages?
Usually, because they are plain Unicode text. A platform may reject some characters in usernames, and fonts can change spacing.
