What is a kaomoji?

Kaomoji are faces made from text characters, usually read upright. Eyes, mouths and little arms work together to suggest a mood. Unlike a sticker or image, a kaomoji can be pasted into a text field; its appearance still depends on the receiving app and font.

From face to message

  • Start with the feeling you want to express. Happy is a quiet smile or a cheer; cute is more about a gentle, playful style.
  • Tap a face to copy it, then paste it into your message. The heart saves it on this browser, and Recent copies keeps your last eight copied results.
  • Keep the words that matter in ordinary text. A text face is a finishing touch, and a screen reader may read its individual punctuation marks aloud.

A few things to know

How do I copy a kaomoji?

Open a collection and tap a face. When the Copied! notice appears, paste it into your chat, caption or bio. If your browser blocks clipboard access, use the manual-copy dialog to select and copy the text.

Are kaomoji the same as emoji?

No. A kaomoji is a sequence of text characters arranged into a face, while an emoji is usually shown as a pictograph. Kaomoji keep their characters when pasted, but spacing and character shapes can change between fonts.

Where are my saved faces and recent copies kept?

They stay in this browser's local storage and do not sync to another device. Open Saved for your favorites. Recent copies holds up to eight results across the font and kaomoji tools; Clear history removes that list.

Text faces can look a little different in each app. Check your pasted message before sending, and keep essential information in ordinary words.
