Which marks make which animal
A mouse kaomoji has small round ears, °, and a thin tail. A fox kaomoji has two solid triangles for ears over a narrow muzzle: ◢(・∇・)◣. A tiger kaomoji carries stripes on each cheek, (≡・ω・≡). A lion's mane is 彡, a Han character Unihan defines as hair.
Sheep, lambs and seals
A sheep kaomoji curls a section sign each side for horns, §(・ェ・)§, and a lamb kaomoji is the same face with small curls: ˢ(・ェ・)ˢ. A seal kaomoji has flippers made of two phonetic letters, ᶘ・ω・ᶅ, so its label says what it borrows.
Cats, bears, dogs, fish and bunnies are not here. Each has a page: start at cat kaomoji.
Fifteen faces carry a Japanese word. Wiktionary gives konkon as the cry of a fox and ukī as the sound a monkey makes.
ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ is a whole mouse in profile, built from three Canadian syllabics characters.
Questions and answers
What is the snout in (・∞・)?
The infinity sign, U+221E, borrowed for a pig's snout because of its two round loops. (^(oo)^) uses two letters o in brackets instead, and is the only face on the page typed in plain ASCII.
Why is there no cat, dog or bear here?
Each of those has a page of its own, as do fish and bunnies, and a face on this site lives on one page only. This page takes the animals that would be too few to fill a page alone.
Why does a face show an empty box?
A character in it has no font on your device. Fourteen faces here borrow: the seals use Phonetic Extensions Supplement letters, two pigs a Yi syllable, and the mouse in profile Canadian Aboriginal syllabics. The Everyday characters chip hides them.
What does こんこん mean?
Konkon. Wiktionary gives it as the cry of a fox, and also as a light knock. It is written here beside ◢(・∇・)◣.
