Frequently Asked Questions

What are kaomoji?
Kaomoji (顔文字) are Japanese text emoticons made from Unicode characters. Unlike Western emoticons that read sideways :), kaomoji read face-on and can express complex emotions like (╥﹏╥) for crying or ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ for shrugging. They work on all platforms without needing emoji support.
Where can I use kaomoji?
Kaomoji are plain Unicode text, so they work everywhere: Twitter/X, Instagram, Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram, Reddit, Facebook, Slack, email, text messages, Google Docs, and any app or website that supports text input.
What is the difference between kaomoji and emoji?
Emoji are small images rendered by your device's operating system and can look different across platforms. Kaomoji are made from standard text characters and look the same everywhere. Kaomoji are also more expressive because they can be combined freely.
