What is a kaomoji?
Kaomoji are text-based emoticons associated with Japanese online communication. They combine characters and symbols into upright faces and reactions such as (◕‿◕), ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ and ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. They are different from image-based emoji.
Kaomoji, fancy text and cursive text
This picker is for complete text faces. For styled letters and words, use the fancy text generator. For script-style Unicode text, use the cursive generator.
How do I copy a kaomoji?
Choose a category or search, then activate a face button. If clipboard permission is unavailable, the tool provides a manual copy fallback.
Are kaomoji the same as emoji?
No. Kaomoji are combinations of text characters, while emoji are standardized pictographic characters.
Do they look identical everywhere?
Not necessarily. Character shape and spacing can vary with the platform and available fonts.
Does search send anything to the server?
