Frequently asked questions
What are kaomoji exactly?
Kaomoji are faces built from ordinary keyboard and Unicode characters — (＾▽＾), (T_T), ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ — read as a whole, not composed of separate “emotion” symbols like the Western :) tradition. They read horizontally and carry the expression in the eyes and mouth.
How do I copy a kaomoji?
Click it. The whole face lands on your clipboard as one string, so it pastes intact into chats, emails and social posts. The ✓ flash confirms the copy.
Will kaomoji break on other devices?
Rarely, but some phones substitute a few of the rarer characters (like ᐛ) with a fallback glyph. The classic faces on this page stick to characters with wide font support.
What’s the difference between kaomoji and emoji?
Emoji are single pictures (😊) rendered by your device font. Kaomoji are multi-character text faces that look identical on every platform because they are just characters arranged artistically.
Can I use kaomoji in a professional email?
A light one like ^_^ is usually fine for informal notes, but keep them out of first-contact business mail. They are best for chats, social posts and comments where personality is welcome.
