Kaomoji (顔文字, かおもじ) are Japanese text faces read upright, like (^_^), built from ordinary characters instead of pictures. Each page below holds one mood or animal, with every face ready to copy in one tap and a short guide to how the faces are built. If you would rather see every category on one page, with search, favourites and a random button, open the kaomoji picker.
Kaomoji by Mood
Start with the feelings: cute kaomoji, happy kaomoji, heart and love kaomoji, sad and crying kaomoji, angry kaomoji, blushing kaomoji, confused kaomoji and sleepy kaomoji.
Animals, Actions and Decorations
The animals have their own ears and snouts: cat kaomoji, bunny kaomoji, bear kaomoji and dog kaomoji. The faces that do something come next: hug kaomoji, kiss and wink kaomoji, dancing kaomoji, greeting kaomoji for hello, thanks and sorry, the shrug kaomoji, the table flip, and cool and smug kaomoji. Last come the decorations that sit outside the brackets: sparkle kaomoji, star kaomoji, flower kaomoji and angel kaomoji.
