How to Read a Star Kaomoji
Stars do different jobs depending on where they sit.
(☆▽☆)puts a white star ☆ in each eye, so the face is starstruck, with ▽ as a wide open mouth.(★ω★)uses the solid black star ★ instead, a stronger, more dazzled stare.☆彡is a shooting star on its own. 彡 is a kanji radical made of three slanting strokes, and here it becomes the streak of light behind the star.☆彡(ノ^ ^)ノsends that shooting star flying from raised ノ arms.☆*:.｡(^ω^)｡.:*☆surrounds the face with a trail of dots, asterisks and stars, as if it were glittering.
When to Use Star Kaomoji
Use a starry-eyed face when you are amazed by something: a great performance, a friend’s news, a favourite idol on stage. Framed faces suit wishes, birthdays and New Year messages, and the shooting star ☆彡 makes a quick sign-off for anything you hope comes true. For Japan’s own star festival, when people write wishes on paper strips, read about Tanabata.

FAQ
What does ☆彡 mean?
☆彡 is a shooting star. The ☆ is the star and 彡, a kanji radical of three slanted strokes, is the tail streaking behind it. People add it to wishes, good luck messages and sign-offs.
What is the difference between ☆ and ★ in kaomoji?
☆ is the white, outlined star and ★ is the solid black one. The outlined star feels lighter and more twinkly, while the solid star feels bolder. Both are plain text symbols, so they never turn into a coloured emoji.
What does a kaomoji with star eyes mean?
Star eyes, as in (☆▽☆), mean starstruck: amazed, excited or dazzled by someone. It is the text version of seeing a hero or a favourite performer up close.
