How it works
Say more with a text face
Kaomoji are emoticons built from text characters and read without turning your head. The eyes often carry the emotion, while brackets, arms, tears, and accents add a pose or mood around the face.
Browse by feeling and tap a face to copy it instantly. To combine a face with words or another kaomoji, use the plus button to add it to the editable tray before copying the finished line.
These faces combine characters from several writing systems. Modern chat and social apps usually display them well, but games and older fonts may remove a mark or show an empty square.
How to use it
- Choose a mood such as happy, love, sad, angry, or animal.
- Tap a kaomoji to copy it, or use its plus button to add it to the editable tray.

Make it work better
- Leave a space between multiple faces so each expression stays readable.
- Use compact kaomoji in usernames and longer ones in messages or bios.
- Preview detailed faces in the destination app before posting.
FAQ
Good to know
What does kaomoji mean?
Kaomoji combines the Japanese words for face and character. It describes emoticons made from text symbols, such as (＾▽＾).
How are kaomoji different from emoji?
Kaomoji are strings of text characters, while emoji are pictographic Unicode characters usually drawn in color by the platform.
Can I use kaomoji on Discord and Instagram?
Yes in most message, bio, caption, and display-name fields. Handles and game usernames may allow fewer characters.
Why did part of a kaomoji disappear?
The app may filter a character or use a font without that glyph. Try a simpler face with standard brackets and punctuation.
