Tap a tile and that face is copied. Groups go by the mark on the cheek: slashes, ditto marks, asterisks, then hashes, circles and at signs, then commas, accents and low brackets. Then come nine flustered faces, three winks, four with both arms up, six without brackets and fourteen with a word. Search reads the labels: flustered finds eleven faces, compliment four.
What makes a kaomoji blush
Wikipedia's Kaomoji article says /// can show embarrassment by symbolizing blushing, like the lines drawn on cheeks in manga. Twenty-two faces here use the keyboard slash and four use ⁄, Fraction slash, U+2044. 〃 is Ditto mark, U+3003, in 19 faces. Reading an asterisk, a hash or a comma as a red cheek is our own description.
Tips
😳 is Flushed face, U+1F633, an emoji by default, so it is not here. The face emoji page has it.
Wikipedia's list files (*´▽｀*) and (*°∀°)=3 under infatuation. Search smitten to find both.
˶ is Modifier letter middle double acute accent, U+02F6, borrowed here as two short strokes on a cheek.
Questions and answers
How do you type a blushing kaomoji on a keyboard?
Open bracket, asterisk, caret, underscore, caret, asterisk, close bracket: (*^_^*). Swap the asterisks for hashes to get (#^_^#), or put three slashes between two small letters o for (o///o). The Keyboard only chip shows all 20 that need nothing else.
What does (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄) mean?
Wikipedia's List of emoticons glosses it as embarrassed, flushed. The strokes are fraction slashes drawn right across the face, over two bullet eyes and a Greek small omega for the mouth. It is the first face on this page.
What is the difference between a blush and a shy kaomoji?
On this site a blushing face still looks at you: cheek marks, with the eyes open or smiling. A shy face hides behind its hands, a wall or eyes squeezed shut, and has its own page. A sweat drop instead makes a nervous face.
What does 顔から火が出る mean?
Kao kara hi ga deru. Wiktionary gives it as to be intensely embarrassed, to burn with shame. Twelve faces here carry a Japanese word: sekimen and kōchō both mean a blush, makka is very red, and terewarai is an embarrassed smile.

How this list was compiled: Built by script on 2026-09-19, not typed into the page by hand. The 98 faces are this site's own selection and arrangement, put together for this page from the parts a kaomoji is made of (brackets, eyes, a mouth) and a mark on each cheek. Some are forms in common use that nobody owns. Wikipedia's article Kaomoji (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaomoji, read 2026-09-19) says /// can indicate embarrassment by symbolizing blushing, resembling the lines drawn on cheeks in manga. Wikipedia's List of emoticons (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emoticons, read 2026-09-19) glosses (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄) as embarrassed, flushed; has (#^.^#) in a row glossed nervous, embarrassed, troubled, shy; has (*^.^*) and (#^.^#) again in a row glossed normal laugh; has (*^▽^*) in a row glossed happy; and glosses (*´▽｀*) and (*°∀°)=3 as infatuation. Reading an asterisk, a hash, a comma, a letter o or an at sign beside the eyes as a red cheek is our own description of those faces. The labels, groups and order are our own. The Japanese words come from Wiktionary, each entry read 2026-09-19: sekimen, a blush (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/赤面); kōchō, a blush, a flush (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/紅潮); makka, extremely red, very red (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/真っ赤); akaramu, to redden, to blush in embarrassment (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/赤らむ); kao kara hi ga deru, to be intensely embarrassed, to burn with shame (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/顔から火が出る); dokidoki, with a racing heart (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/どきどき); hanikamu, to look shy, to be bashful (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/はにかむ); terewarai, an embarrassed smile (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/照れ笑い); terekusai, embarrassing, feeling embarrassed, self-conscious (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/照れ臭い); ureshii, happy, glad (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/嬉しい); oseji, flattery (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/お世辞); hoppe, a childish word for a cheek (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ほっぺ). Every character of every face was looked up in UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), and must be an assigned character. The cheek marks are Solidus (U+002F, the keyboard slash), Fraction slash (U+2044), Ditto mark (U+3003), Asterisk, Number sign, the comma, Modifier letter middle double acute accent (U+02F6), Modifier letter middle double grave accent (U+02F5), Right low paraphrase bracket (U+2E1D), Commercial at, the letter o and White circle (U+25CB). Emoji are left out, which is why Flushed face (U+1F633) is not here. "Borrows" under a face names each character from outside the blocks of punctuation, common symbols and Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and Japanese letters, with its script from Scripts.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Scripts.txt) or, for a Latin or common character, its block from Blocks.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Blocks.txt). No face holds a character with the Emoji property in emoji-data.txt, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-data.txt), beyond the keyboard's own asterisk and number sign. "Short" means 6 code points or fewer, spaces counted. "Keyboard only" means every character is printable ASCII. Nothing here says how any one device draws a face. Licence: own work
