Frequently asked questions

What is kaomoji?

Kaomoji are Japanese-style text emoticons that you read without tilting your head, like (㇋‿㇋) or the famous shrug ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. The word means face characters in Japanese.

How do I use them?

Click any face and it is copied to your clipboard, ready to paste into a chat, social post, username or document. Because they are made of ordinary Unicode characters, they work almost everywhere.

Will they show correctly everywhere?

Mostly yes, since they use standard characters. Very occasionally a font is missing a specific symbol and shows a box, but the common ones here display well across phones, computers and most apps.
