The Definitive Guide

What are Japanese Kaomoji & Text Emoticons?

What does Kaomoji (顔文字) mean?

The word Kaomoji (顔文字) comes from Japanese: kao (顔 - face) and moji (文字 - character). Unlike Western emoticons that are read sideways like :-), Japanese kaomoji are read upright (≧∇∇)/ without tilting your head.

Why use Kaomoji over regular Emoji?

Kaomoji rely on text characters, Unicode symbols, and punctuation marks. Because they are pure text, they maintain their exact aesthetic across all platforms: whether you paste them into Discord, Twitter, Twitch, iOS, Android, or video games.

How to copy & paste kaomoji easily

With EmotiX, copying any face takes a single click. Simply tap your favorite expression (like (つ✧ω✧)つ or ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)) and paste it anywhere using Ctrl+V or Cmd+V.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Japanese text faces, kaomoji, and text emoticons.

Kaomoji (literally 'face characters' in Japanese) are text-based emoticons assembled from Japanese characters, punctuation marks, and mathematical symbols. Unlike Western emoticons which are read sideways (e.g. :-D), kaomoji are read upright and feature expressive eye variations like (≧∇∇)/ or (╥﹏╥).
