Smiling, grinning and laughing kaomoji. From a gentle (´∀｀) to an over-the-top (≧▽≦), pick the face that matches how excited you feel.
Sad and crying kaomoji, from a small sniffle to full-on bawling. Choose by how many tears you need — a light (；_；) or a flooded ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡.
Angry kaomoji — more playfully grumpy than genuinely furious. Great for a lighthearted (｀ω´) pout or a mock-raging ヽ(｀Д´)ﾉ.
Shy and embarrassed kaomoji. Soften a reply to a compliment, or something a little awkward to say, with a blushing (//∇//).
Surprised and shocked kaomoji, from a mild double-take to a jaw-dropped ( ﾟдﾟ). The leading Σ mimics a body jolting in shock.
Greeting and bowing kaomoji. Add m(_ _)m to a "thanks" or "sorry" and the whole message feels warmer and more polite.
Cheering and upbeat kaomoji. Tack a ٩(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ onto a "you got this!" or a happy reply to celebrate together.
Troubled and exasperated kaomoji. Convey a subtle "oh well" or "good grief" without sounding harsh — a (´・ω・｀) softens the blow.
Sleepy and good-night kaomoji. Perfect for an "off to bed" message or admitting you are about to doze off — ( ˘ω˘ )ｽﾔｧ.
Animal kaomoji — cats, dogs, bears, rabbits and more. Great for a relaxed, cute vibe or any pet-related chat. ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ is a bear.
Action kaomoji that show a whole gesture — orz (dropping to your knees), the classic table flip ┻━┻, running away and more.
No kaomoji match your search. Try a simpler word like "happy", "cat" or "bow".
Kaomoji (顔文字) means "face characters" in Japanese. They are emoticons made from text —
but unlike the Western style, you read them straight-on, without tilting your
head. Compare a smiley the two ways: the Western :) is read sideways,
while the Japanese ^_^ faces you directly. Because kaomoji draw the eyes and
mouth in their natural left-to-right position, they can show far more nuance — blushing,
crying, bowing, even raised arms — using Japanese kana, brackets and other Unicode symbols.
Invented in Japan in the 1980s, they spread worldwide and are now a recognized part of
internet culture, known in English as Japanese emoticons, text faces or kawaii emoticons.

Kaomoji (顔文字, literally "face characters") are Japanese-style emoticons you read straight-on, without tilting your head. Where a Western emoticon like :) is read sideways, a kaomoji such as ^_^ or (´∀｀) faces you directly — the eyes, mouth and even arms are drawn with a wide mix of Japanese kana, punctuation and other Unicode symbols. They originated in Japan in the 1980s and are also called Japanese emoticons, text faces or kawaii emoticons.
Click (or tap) any kaomoji on this page and it is instantly copied to your clipboard. Then paste it wherever you want — a chat, a caption, a tweet, a document — with Ctrl+V, Cmd+V, or press-and-hold → Paste on a phone. You never have to build them character by character.
Almost always. Kaomoji are made of ordinary text characters, so they work in apps that have no emoji support at all, and they look the same across most platforms. A few use rarer symbols that can appear as a box (□) on very old systems, but the text is still copied correctly and shows fine once fonts are up to date.
