How to Read a Blush Kaomoji

Blushing kaomoji use two tricks: marks on the cheeks, and hands that cover the face.

(*ﾉωﾉ) hides behind two ﾉ, half-width katakana no, drawn as hands pressed over the eyes. The * is a flushed cheek peeking out.
(⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄) scatters ⁄ fraction slashes across the whole face, so it looks striped with blush and trembling.
(//▽//) puts two slashes on each cheek, the same shading lines anime uses for a red face.
(〃▽〃) uses 〃, the Japanese ditto mark, as a pair of blush strokes on each side.
(*/ω＼*) covers the face with two slanted hands, but leaves a gap to peek through.

When to Use Blush Kaomoji

They fit any moment of pleasant embarrassment: someone praises your drawing, a crush replies, you send a message to the wrong group chat. They are softer than a heart, so they flirt without saying too much. A blushing face after an apology also makes the mistake feel smaller.
